Answer:

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

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.
