Calcium levels in people are normally distributed with a mean of 9.5 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 0.3 mg/dL. Individuals wi

th calcium levels in the bottom 10% of the population are considered to have low calcium levels. Find the calcium level that is the borderline between low calcium levels and those not considered low. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer:

9.1 mg/dL

Explanation:

A normal distribution is symmetrical, the area below the curve of negative Z-scores is equal to the area below the curve of positive Z-scores, Z measures the statistic observed and the parameter of the population.

And it is:

Z = (x - μ)/σ

where μ is the mean (9.5 mg/dL), x is the borderline, and σ is the standard deviation, which is 0.3 mg/dL.

The Z-score can be calculated in excel by the function =NORMSINV, and the factor will be the percente considered (10% = 0.1)

NORMSINV(0.1) = -1.28155

So,

-1.28155 = (x - 9.5)/0.3

x - 9.5 = -0.384465

x = 9.1 mg/dL

47.0ml of a HBr solution were titrated with 37.5ml of a 0.215M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. what is the molarit
faltersainse [42]

Hello!

The molarity of the HBr solution is 0,172 M.

Why?

The neutralization reaction between LiOH and HBr is the following:

HBr(aq) + LiOH(aq) → LiBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

To solve this exercise, we are going to apply the common titration equation:

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=\frac{M2*V2}{V1}= \frac{0,215 M * 37,5 mL}{47 mL}=0,172 M

Have a nice day!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
frozen [14]

Answer:

19.278049929737628457607385688801

Explanation:

Volume = L * W * H

Volume = 17.78 * 9.21 * 4.45 = 728.70441

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = 14,048

14,048 / 728.70441 = 19.278049929737628457607385688801

Density = 19.278049929737628457607385688801
