Calculate the mass percent composition of each element in each compound. (a) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) (b) \(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) (c) \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{9} \mathrm{~N}\) (d) \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{~N}_{2}\)

Mathematical Statistics with Applications 7
Applet Exercise 1. Use the applet Chi-Square Probabilities and Quantiles to find \(P[Y>E(Y)]\) when Y has \(\mathrm{X}^{2}\) distributions with 10, 40, and 80 df. 2. What did you notice about \(P[Y>E(Y)]\) as the number of degrees of freedom increases as in part (a)? 3. How does what you observed i

\(\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{11} \mathrm{OH} ; \mathcal{M}=88.15 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\)) has nearly the same molar mass as hexane (\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{14} ; \mathcal{M}=86.17 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\)) but is more than 12 times as viscous at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Explain.

Fundamentals of Statistics 4
On-Time Flights According to flightstats.com, American Airlines flights from Dallas to Chicago are on time 80% of the time. Suppose 15 flights are randomly selected, and the number of on-time flights is recorded. (a) Explain why this is a binomial experiment. (b) Find and interpret the probability th

Probability and Statistics 4
Suppose that a failure in a certain electronic system can occur because of either a minor or a major defect. Suppose also that 80 percent of the failures are caused by minor defects, and 20 percent of the failures are caused by major defects. When a failure occurs, n independent soundings X1,...,Xn a

Principles of Economics 6
A price change causes the quantity demanded of a good to decrease by 30 percent, while the total revenue of that good increases by 15 percent. Is the demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.
