Answer:

The position of the arrows will not be on the target i.e. outside the bull's eye, neither will they be close to one another (widely scattered).

Step-by-step explanation:

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measurement to an actual or accepted value while precision refers to the closeness of measurements to one another.

Using archery as an illustration of precision and accuracy, measurements (arrows) that are neither accurate not precise are those arrows that will be far away or outside the bull's eye region (target) of the board and also far apart from one another.

In a nutshell, the arrows will be distant from the bull's eye or target (not accurate) and also distant from one another (not precise).
