Answer:

It is neither accurate nor precise.

Explanation:

The data set is neither accurate nor precise.

Accuracy is defined as the closeness of a measurement to the true value.

Now let us look at the average of the data set:

30 + 17 + 27 + 21 + 32 = 127/5 = 25.4

The average of the data set is 25.4, whereas the correct value provided is 25. The difference between the average of the data set and the correct value is 0.4 which is beyond the margin of error allowed in measurement. Hence, the measured data is not accurate.

Also, precision is defined as the closeness of repeated measurement to one another.

From the data set, the individual values are not close to one another in any form and the difference between them are more than the margin of error allowed in measurements. Hence, the data is far from being precise.

What are the use of Land?

frutty [35]

Land use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures, and managed woods. Land use by humans has a long history, first emerging more than 10 thousand years ago. It has been defined as "the purposes and activities through which people interact with land and terrestrial ecosystems and as "the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land type. Land use is one of the most important drivers of global environmental change.

A man with Type A blood marries a woman with Type AB blood. According to predicted outcomes based on genetics, their children ma

DochEvi [55]

Well,

We need to make a Punnett square. Assuming that the man has type A, not AO or AA blood, we will have a 1 x 2 Punnett square. We just have to take the A on the left and pair it with either the A on the left column or the B on the right column.

Therefore, the percent chance of having an AA genotype is 1 in 2 or 50%, while the percent chance of having an AB genotype is 1 in 2 or 50%. Thus, the possible phenotypes are 50% A type blood and 50% AB type blood.

I have attached the resulting Punnett square.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer;

Without the keystone species, the rocky inter-tidal ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether

Explanation;

Keystone species have low functional redundancy. This means that if the species were to disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological niche.

For instance; the starfish Pisaster ochraceus is a keystone species in the rocky marine inter-tidal communities off the northwest coast of North America. It feeds on the mussel Mytilus californianus and is responsible for maintaining much of the local diversity of species within certain communities.
