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

HELP PLEASE! <br> Picture for question provided
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first one is CrO.  The Chromium has the same charge as the oxygen so mol numbers are dropped.

The Second one is CrO2 The two oxygens have a charge of 2(-2) = -4. To balance this, the Chromium must have a charge of +4 Cr(Iv)O2

The third one is can be set up like this

Cr + 3(-2) = 0

Cr - 6 = 0

Cr = 6

Therefore the formula is Cr(vi)O3

The last one is a bit tricky. Follow this carefully. There are 2 Crs and 3Os.

The formula looks like this

2Cr + 3(-2) = 0

2Cr - 6 = 0

2Cr = 6

Cr = 3

The formula is Cr(iii)2 O3

Electrons in conductors, like copper wire, are free to roam throughout the metal in the presence of the ions that have released
Scrat [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>No, I would not consider a metal to be a plasma because plasma is just another state of matter, and the copper wire is in solid state.</em></u>

Explanation:

Metal is not a state of matter. Metals can be solid or liquid (molten) depending on their melting point and the temperature at which they are.

Plasma is a state of matter, similar to gas, but it is reached only at very high temperatures like in the Sun. The particles in plasma state are not neutral atoms or molecules but negatively charged  ions and electrons.

The copper wire is yet a solid, thus it cannot be considered a plasma.

Metals can be in plasma state only if the temperature is too high, like the temperatures in the stars. In fact, the metals in the Sun and other hotter stars are in plasma state.

To get out the iron filings put everything in to a container and then put the magnet to the side to attract them. Pull them out of the container. Then, I don’t know how to separate the sand and salt. Maybe evaporate the salt? I joke you can figure it out. Best of luck! :)

What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
