1 “1 standard deviation of the mean“ is 10.0-0.3=9.7 and 10.0+0.3=10.3, so the question is asking the persent of numbers that bigger than 9.7 and smaller than 10.3. Altogether 6 numbers are qualified: 9.9 9.9 9.9 10.0 10.2 10.2 . There are 8 numbers in the list. So the persent is 6/8=75% 2 Since "the rate of a certain chemical reaction is inversely proportional to the concentration of chemical B present and is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of chemical A present ", the concentration of chemical A needs to be increased to offset the increase of concentration of chemical B in order to keep the reaction rate unchanged. B is increased to 2B, so A^2 needs to be 2A^2, A needs to be the multiplication of A and the square root of 2. Since the square root of 2 is 1.414, A need to be increased by 41.4% to be 1.414A. The answer is 40%, which is close to 41.4%. |
