Answer

21.31 kg, 21.29 kg , 0.02 kg

Work Step by Step

The upper limit is the measurement + tolerance, that is, $$ 21.30+0.01 = 21.31\ kg .$$ The lower limit is the measurement - tolerance, that is, $$ 21.30-0.01 = 21.29\ kg .$$ The tolerance interval = upper limit-lower limit, that is, $$ 21.31\ kg-21.29\ kg=0.02\ kg .$$
