The combustion of titanium with oxygen produces titanium dioxide: Ti (s) + O2(g) → TiO2 (s)When 0.610 g of titanium is combusted in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 25.00 °C to 50.50 °C. In a separate experiment, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is measured to be 9.84 kJ/K. The heat of reaction for the combustion of a mole of Ti in this calorimeter is ________ kJ/mol.

A study by Bechtel et al., 2009, described in the Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health considered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and immune system function in beef cattle. Some cattle were near major oil- and gas-producing areas of western Canada. The mean monthly exposure to PM1.0 (particulate matter that is in diameter) was approximately 7.2 with standard deviation 1.5. Assume that the monthly exposure is normally distributed. What is the probability of a monthly exposure between 3 and 5 ?

In a clinical study, volunteers are tested for a gene that has been found to increase the risk for a disease. The probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1. People are assumed to be independent with respect to the gene. What is the probability that four or more people need to be tested to detect two with the gene?

Disaster data can be used to inform policy decisions to help reduce disaster risks and build resilience. Geological investigations and historical record of earthquakes in New Zealand show that the average number of earthquakes with magnitude 4-4.9 is 445 per year. Assume a Poisson distribution. What is the probability that at least 505 earthquakes occur in a year.

The United States has an aging infrastructure as witnessed by several recent disasters, including the I-35 bridge failure in Minnesota. Most states inspect their bridges regularly and report their condition (on a scale from 1–7) to the public. Here are the condition numbers from a sample of 30 bridges. Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of these condition numbers. 5.08 5.44 6.66 5.07 6.04 5.43 4.83 4.00 4.41 3.61 7.00 5.72 3.48 6.43 3.97 4.19 6.26 5.27 5.26 5.48 4.95 5.76 4.93 5.61 4.66 7.00 5.57 3.42 5.91 4.54
