Answer:

Helium nucleus

Explanation:

Alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons, wich is the configuration of an Helium Nucleus.

The atomic number of an element it is the number of protons that the element has in its nucleus, this number is uniqe to every element. Helium is the second element in the periodic table so Its atomic number is 2, This means it has two protons and the same amount of neutrons, wich makes alpha particles identical to a helium nucleus, not to a Helium atom, because a Helium atom has electrons and alpha particles don't have electrons.

The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviatio

enot [183]

Answer:

2.25 %

Explanation:

65-95-99.7 is a rule to remember the precentages that lies around the mean.

at the range of mean ( $\mu$ ) plus or minus one standard deviation ( $\sigma$ ), $P([\mu-\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+\sigma])\approx 68.3%$

at the range of mean plus or minus two standard deviation, $P([\mu -2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu+2\sigma])\approx 95.5%$

at the range of mean plus or minus three standard deviation, $P([\mu - 3\sigma\leq X \leq \mu+3\sigma])\approx 99.7%$

So, note that they are asking about the probability that it is greater than 0.32, that is the mean (0.3) plus two times the standard deviation (0.1) ( $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma)$ )

So we know that the 95.5% is between $\mu - 2\sigma = 0.3 -2*0.1 = 0.28$ and $\mu + 2\sigma = 0.3 +2*0.1 = 0.32$ , hence approximately the 4.5% (100%-95.5%) is greater than 0.32 or less than 0.28. But half (4.5%/2=2.25%) is greater than 0.32 and the other half is less than 0.28.

So $P(X \leq \mu+2\sigma) \approx 2.25%$

An organ pipe is tuned to exactly 384 Hz when the temperature in the room is 20°C. Later, when the air has warmed up to 25°C, th

maksim [4K]

Answer: A. Greater than 384 Hz

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is directly related to the temperature rather it is directly proportional meaning if the temperature decreases the velocity decreases and if temperature increases the velocity increases.

Now, we are given that temperature has risen from 20°C to 25°C meaning it has increases. So it implies that velocity must also increase.

Also, the velocity for organ pipe is directly proportional to its frequency. Now if velocity increases frequency must also increase. In this case, the original frequency is 384 Hz. Now increasing the temperature resulted in increase in velocity and thus increase in frequency.

So option a is correct. i.e. now frequency will be greater than 384 Hz.
