Answer:

35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the weight of the wheat flour "x."

3/5=21/x

Cross multiply to solve.

3*x=5*21

3x=105

x=35

The weight of the wheat flour is 35 pounds.

Which data set is accurate and precise based on a correct value of 30?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Set 1: 30, 35, 32, 30, 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first clarify what is accurate and precise:

Precise is based on how close two or more measured values are to each other. While something is said to be accurate, when the standard value values are close, which in our case is 30.

Therefore, we analyze each set:

Set 1: 30, 35, 32, 30, 29

This set is precise and accurate, since 2 values are 30 and all their values are close to each other.

Set 2: 15, 16, 12, 15, 14

This set is precise, because all of its values are close but not accurate.

Set 3: 19, 30, 78, 43, 30

This set is somewhat accurate because there are 2 values of 30, but it is not precise because its values are separate.

Set 4: 30, 30, 67, 12, 90

It is the same case of Set 3.

Therefore the answer is Set 1.
