Solution

The scale that Becky and Michael used at the grocery store can be described as having a low level of accuracy and a high degree of precision. This is because the weights they got from the scale were all close to each other (high precision), but they were not close to the actual weight of the almonds (low accuracy). Therefore, the correct answer is B. It has a low level of accuracy and a high degree of precision.
