Optimization

Optimization comes from the same root as "optimal". "Optimal" means the highest. When you do the optimization process, that is when you are "making it best" to maximize everything and to achieve optimal results, a set of parameters is the base for the se…

Integration

Integration means to sum the things. In mathematics, it is the branch of Calculus which is used to find the area under the curve. The operation subtraction is the inverse of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication. In the same way, integratio…

Application of Integration

In mathematics, the process of integration is used to compute complex area related problems. With the application of integration, solving area related problems, whether they are a curve, or a curve between lines, can be done easily.

Volume

In mathematics, we describe the term volume as a quantity that can express the total space that an object occupies at any point in time. Usually, volumes can only be calculated for 3-dimensional objects. By 3-dimensional or 3D objects, we mean objects th…

Area

Area refers to the amount of space a figure encloses and the number of square units that cover a shape. It is two-dimensional and is measured in square units.

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.8, Problem 84E

Organic chemists often purify organic compounds by a method known as fractional crystallization. An experimenter wanted to prepare and purify 4.85 g of aniline. Ten 4.85-gram specimens of aniline were prepared and purified to produce acetanilide. The following dry yields were obtained:

3.85, 3.88, 3.90, 3.62, 3.72, 3.80, 3.85, 3.36, 4.01, 3.82

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of grams of acetanilide that can be recovered from 4.85 grams of aniline.

A sample of ore is found to be 0.0022% gold and 0.059% silver. What is the percentage of matter in the ore that is neither gold or silver?

The rare earth element gadolinium is often used as a contrasting agent for MRIS. The concentration of gadolinium was measured in the discharge from a wastewater treatment plant near a large medical facility. Eight measurements were obtained: 1.254 ppm, 1.252 ppm, 1.246 ppm, 1.242 ppm, 1.815 ppm, 1.244 ppm, 1.251 ppm, 1.249 ppm. Use the Grubbs test to determine if one of these values is an outlier. What is the value of Geale? Should this potential outlier be rejected with 95% Gcalc = confidence? Critical values of G can be found in this table. + TOOLS x10 The potential outlier should be rejected. The potential outlier should be kept. Based on the outcome of the Grubbs test, calculate the mean (x), standard deviation (s), and 99% confidence interval for the results. A list of t values can be found in the Student'st table. ppm S = Ppm confidence interval: ppm
