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.

How can a mother with the B blood type, having A antibodies in her plasma, carry a baby full-term that inherits the A blood type

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The mother can carry a full-term baby with A blood type because the mother's blood does not mix with the baby's blood, so the mother's immune system does not activate attacking the baby.

Explanation:

The reason why a mother with B blood type and A antibodies in her system can carry a full-term pregnancy is thanks to the placenta. The placenta is a shared organ between the mother and the baby. Its function is to protect the baby and produce the necessary exchanges of nutrients and wastes between the maternal blood and the baby's blood. As the two types of blood are separated, and they never get in contact during pregnancy, the immune system of the mother does not recognize the baby as a treat. The mother can have A antibodies in her plasma due to a previous pregnancy where during delivery, the two types of blood mixed, also it can be due to any contact with the A blood type. When the foreign blood enters the body, the immune system forms antibodies for it.
