Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Nature of Hydroxide Ions

Hydroxide ions (OH\(^-\)) are negatively charged ions commonly associated with basic or alkaline solutions. A high concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution indicates that the solution is basic.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options
  • Buffers: These are solutions that resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. They do not specifically describe solutions with high hydroxide ion concentration.
  • Acids: These are substances that increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H\(^+\)) in a solution, not hydroxide ions.
  • Bases: These are substances that increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution.
  • Electrolytes: These are substances that dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity. They can be acids, bases, or salts, but the term does not specifically refer to high hydroxide ion concentration.
Step 3: Identifying the Correct Term

The term that specifically describes solutions with a high concentration of hydroxide ions is "Bases."

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Bases}}\)

1. You have collected data on the rainfall (inches) in Columbia for 20 randomly selected days. Read the rain data into R in order to answer the following questions: (a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the average amount of rainfall per day in Columbia. CI- 0.3250 .739 which means that we are 95% confident that the true average rainfall per day in Columbia lies within this range (b) Based on your confidence interval, do we have evidence that it rains less than half an inch per day in Columbia on average? No we do not have evidence that is rains less than half an inch per day in Columbia on average because the CI(0.325 to 0.739) is above 0.5 inches (c) Are the assumptions of this statistical procedure satisfied? What does that mean?
