1. If there are 100 navy beans, 27 pinto beans and 173 blackeyed peas in a container, what is the percent abundance in the conta

iner by type of bean?
2. If your chemistry grade is broken down so that 70.0% of it is based on exams, 20.0% on lab reports and 10.0% on homework, and your average scores (out of 100 points in each area) are: exams: 85, labs: 75, homework: 96. What would your weighted average score be?

The answers to the two questions are:

1. The percent abundance in the container which has <u>100 navy</u>, <u>27 pinto</u>, and <u>173 black-eyed peas beans</u> is 33.3%, 9.0%, and 57.7% for navy bean, pinto bean, and black-eyed <em>peas </em>beans, respectively.

2. The <em>weighted </em>average score for the scores of 85, 75, 96 obtained from the evaluations of exams (20%), labs (75%), and homework (96%) is 84.1.      

1. The percent abundance by type of bean is given by:

\% = \frac{n}{n_{t}} \times 100   (1)

Where:

n: is the number of each type of beans

n_{t}: is the <em>total number</em> of <em>beans </em>

The <em>total number </em>of <em>beans</em> can be calculated by adding the number of all the types of beans:

n_{t} = n_{n} + n_{p} + n_{b}   (2)

Where:

n_{n}: is the number of navy beans = 100

n_{p}: is the number of pinto beans = 27

n_{b}: is the number of black-eyed <em>peas </em>beans = 173  

Hence, the total number of beans is (eq 2):

n_{t} = 100 + 27 + 173 = 300  

Now, the <em>percent abundance</em> by type of bean is (eq 1):

  • Navy beans

\%_{n} = \frac{100}{300} \times 100 = 33.3 \%

  • Pinto beans

\%_{p} = \frac{27}{300} \times 100 = 9.0 \%

  • Black-eyed peas beans

\%_{b} = \frac{173}{300} \times 100 = 57.7 \%

Hence, the percent abundance by type of bean is 33.3%, 9.0%, and 57.7% for navy bean, pinto bean, and black-eyed peas beans, respectively.

2. The average score (S) can be calculated as follows:

S = e*\%_{e} + l*\%_{l} + h*\%_{h}   (3)

Where:

e: is the score for exams = 85

l: is the score for lab reports = 75

h: is the score for homework = 96

%_{e}\%_{e}: is the <em>percent</em> for<em> exams</em> = 70.0%

\%_{l}: is the <em>percent </em>for <em>lab reports</em> = 20.0%

\%_{h}: is the <em>percent </em>for <em>homework </em>= 10.0%

Then, the <u>average score</u> is:

S = 85*0.70 + 75*0.20 + 96*0.10 = 84.1

We can see that if the score for each evaluation is 100, after multiplying every evaluation for its respective percent, the final average score would be 100.  

Therefore, the <em>weighted </em>average score will be 84.1.

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check
rosijanka [135]

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.
