Answer:

G_calculated = 1.756

The outlier should be rejected, as G_cal > G_tab (= 1.463) at 95 % confidence.

Explanation:

The Grubb's test is used for identifying an outlier in data, which is from the same population. For this, a statistical term, G, is calculated for the suspected outlier. If the calculated value is greater than the tabulated G value then the suspected value is rejected. This term is given as,

G_calculated = | suspect value - mean| / s

Here,  suspect value is 13.8, mean is to be taken of all the data (including suspected value). s is the standard deviation of the sample data.

s is calculated from the following formula:

s = (Σ(xi - x)²/(N-1))^1/2

Here, x is the mean, which is 15.24, xi is individual value and N is the total number of data (5).

From the above formula, s is found to be

Standard Deviation, s = 0.820

Now for G value,

G_calculated = | 13.8 - 15.24| / (0.820)

G_ calculated = 1.756

The tabulated G value at 95 % confidence and N -1 (5 - 1 = 4) degree of freedom is, 1.463.

As calculated G (1.756) is greater than the tabulated G (1.463), the value 13.8 is considered an outlier at 95 % confidence.

For most atoms, a stable configuration of electrons is attained when the atom __________. hints hint 1. (click to open) for most
sveticcg [70]

Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell

Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are oxygen (o), 65 percent; carbon (c), 18 p
Vlada [557]

It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g

Natural abundances in mass percent are:

O = 65%

C = 18%

H = 10%

N = 3.0%

Ca = 1.6%

P = 1.2%

Corresponding weights of the elements are:

O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g

C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g

H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g

N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g

Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g

P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g
