The answer is the third one: Less than 15%.

Explanation for each option:

  • More than 80%: This is incorrect. The recycling rate for electronic waste in the US is not this high.
  • About 50%: This is also incorrect. The actual recycling rate is significantly lower than this.
  • Less than 15%: This is correct. According to various reports and studies, the percentage of electronic waste that is recycled in the US is typically less than 15%.
  • This is not currently monitored: This is incorrect. E-waste recycling is monitored, and data is available regarding the recycling rates.

In summary, the correct answer is that less than 15% of electronic waste is currently recycled in the US.

Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C, and it's known the usual percent yield of C in this reaction is 69%. Suppose 9.5 g of A are reacted with excess Compound B, and 10.0 g of Compound C are successfully isolated at the end of the reaction. What was the theoretical yield of C? Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 g. How much B was consumed by the reaction? Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 g.

A water taxi carries passengers from harbor to another. Assume that weights of passengers are normally distributed with a mean of 182 lb and a standard deviation of 45 lb. The water taxi has a stated capacity of 25 passengers, and the water taxi was rated for a load limit of 3500 lb. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Given that the water taxi was rated for a load limit of 3500 lb, what is the maximum mean weight of the passengers if the water taxi is filled to the stated capacity of 25 passengers? The maximum mean weight is 140 lb. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If the water taxi is filled with 25 randomly selected passengers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds the value from part (a)? The probability is 1.0000. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. If the weight assumptions were revised so that the new capacity became 20 passengers and the water taxi is filled with 20 randomly selected passengers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds 175 lb, which is the maximum mean weight that does not cause the total load to exceed 3500 lb? The probability is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
