Answer:

  • <u>0.6826 (68.26%)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Find the z-scores:</u>

  • z = [X - μ ] / σ

a) z-score for 22.6 inches length

  • X = 22.6
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00

b) z-score for 17.4 inches length

  • X = 17.4
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 =  - 1.00

<u>2) Probability</u>

Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).

That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.

The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:

  • 1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

What part of the atom determines if it will combine or break apart from other substances?
anzhelika [568]

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The atom consist of three parts, proton, neutron and electrons. The electrons determine that i will combine or beak from other substances.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The atom consist of three parts which are following

  • proton
  • neutron
  • electron

The proton and neutron form nucleus of an atom. It is present at center of an atom. They have positive charges, while electrons remained outside the nucleus in particular energy levels or shell around the nucleus.

During combination or breaking of substances ,only arrangements of electrons take place. The valence shell electrons decide whether they have to combine or not, while nucleus remained unchanged during any reactions.
