9.16 A bottled water distributor wants to determine whether the mean amount of water contained in 1-gallon bottles purchased from a nationally known water bottling company is actually 1

gallon. You know from the water bottling company specifications that the standard deviation of the amount of water per bottle is 0.02 gallon. You select a random sample of 50 bottles, and

the mean amount of water per 1-gallon bottle is 0.995 gallon.

A) Is there evidence that the mean amount is different from 1.0 gallon? (Use α=0.01.)

B) Compute the p-value and interpret its meaning.

C) Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean amount of water per bottle.

D) Compare the results of (a) and (c). What conclusions do you reach?

Q4) A desk lamp produced by The Luminar Company was found to be defective (D). There are three factories (A, B, C) where such desk lamps are manufactured. A Quality Control Manager is responsible for investigating the source of found defects. They know that factory A supplies 50% of the total lamps, factory B supplies 30% of the total lamps, and factory C supplies 20% of the total lamps. They also know that on average, 2.0% or factory A’s lamps are defective, 1.0% of factory B’s lamps are defective, and 3.0% of factory C’s lamps are defective. If a randomly selected lamp is defective, what is the probability that it was manufactured in factory A? If a randomly selected lamp is defective, what is the probability that it was manufactured in factory B? If a randomly selected lamp is defective, what is the probability that it was manufactured in factory C? If a randomly selected lamp is not defective, what is the probability that it was manufactured in factory A?

2-6.

(i) Considering the effects of the ionic strength, use Excel to calculate the cell voltage of Zn | ZnSO4 (x M) || PbSO4(s) | Pb, where x: 1´10-4, 5´10-4, 1´10-3, 5´10-3, 0.01, and 0.05 M.

PbSO4 → Pb2+ + SO42+, Ksp = 1.69 ´ 10-8

Pb2+ + 2e- → Pb, Eo = -0.13 V vs. NHE

Zn2+ + 2e- → Zn, Eo = -0.76 V vs. NHE

(ii) Recalculate the cell voltage when 1.0 M KNO3 is present in the anodic half-cell.

(iii) Plot the results of (i) and (ii) against log(x) together on one sheet.

(iv) Give conclusions on the difference between the curves.

Thank you.

a) I found this data when comparing 5 different reactions, using various concentrations

When S2O8] remains constant (0.0400M):

Reaction 1 and 2: The [I-] concentration doubles from 0.0400M to 0.0800M, while the rate and relative rate triple at 4.31e-6M/s to 1.32e-5M/s and 2.00 to 6.14

Reaction 2 and 3: The [I-] concentration quadruples from 0.0200M to 0.0800M, while the rate and relative rate multiply by 6 from 2.15e-6M/s to 1.32e-5M/s and 1.0 to 6.14

Does this prove that the [I-] concentration is proportional to the rate in a fashion of 3/2, 2/3 or another ratio?

b) Using this data, In the rate law
rate=k[I-]n[S2O82-]m
what is the value of n?

Using the AASHTO 1993 Flexible Pavement Design Procedure, design a pavement cross section that will provide 10 years service. The initial PSI is 4.2 and the final PSI is determined to be 2.5. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 18,000 psi. Reliability is 95% with an overall standard deviation of 0.4. For design, the daily truck traffic consists of 400 passes of trucks with two single axles and 350 passes of semitrailer truck with tandem axles. The axle weights are:

Single-Unit truck                    =          8000-lb steering, single axle

                                                =          22,000-lb drive, single axle

Semiunit truck                        =          10,000-lb steering, single axle

                                                =          16,000-lb drive, tandem axle

                                                =          34,000-lbs trailer, tandem axle

M2 and M3 are equal to 1.0 for the materials in the pavement structure.

Consider historical data showing that the average annual rate of return on the S&P 500 portfolio over the past 85 years has averaged roughly 8% more than the Treasury bill return and that the S&P 500 standard deviation has been about 32% per year. Assume these values are representative of investors' expectations for future performance and that the current T-bill rate is 4%.

  

Calculate the utility levels of each portfolio for an investor with A = 3. Assume the utility function is U = E(r) − 0.5 × Aσ2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Tris, (HOCH2)3CNH2 (pKb = 5.91), a very common buffer for studying biochemical processes, is prepared by a biological chemist using 10.0M NaOH to a pH of 7.79 using 31.52 g of (HOCH2)3CNH3Cl, or TrisH+, (MW=157.597g/mol, pKa 8.075).

(a) Calculate the ratio of [Tris]/[TrisH+] at a pH of 7.79.

(b) Calculate the initial moles of (HOCH2)3CNH3Cl (MW=157.597g/mol) that were added.

(c) Write the chemical reaction between the TrisH+ and the added NaOH.

(d) Calculate the moles of hydroxide used to produce the ratio calculated in part (a).

(e) What volume of 10.0 M NaOH is needed to prepare the buffer?

(f) Now you dilute the solution from above to 1.0 L and take half of the buffer (500.0 mL) and add 0.0100 moles solid HCl. What is the new pH?
