Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the atoms in the molecule

The molecule contains the following atoms:

  • 2 Carbon (C)
  • 1 Oxygen (O) in a double bond
  • 1 Oxygen (O) in a single bond
  • 1 Hydrogen (H)
  • 3 Fluorine (F)
Step 2: Count the number of each type of atom

From the structure, we can count:

  • Carbon (C): 2
  • Oxygen (O): 2
  • Hydrogen (H): 1
  • Fluorine (F): 3
Step 3: Write the chemical formula

Combine the counts of each type of atom to write the chemical formula:

  • C₂O₂HF₃

Final Answer

The chemical formula for the molecule is C₂O₂HF₃.

Fifty-four wild bears were anesthetized, and then their weights and their chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest sizes? When measuring an anesthetized bear, is it easier to measure chest size than weight? If said, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the weight? Use a significance level of α=0.06. Correlation Results Correlation coeff, F: 0.963613 Critical r: ± 0.2680855 P-value (two tailed): 0.000 Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0 P H4 p

Read this passage: But we hesitate in this country, thinking that compulsory voting seems somehow un-American (Galston); we enjoy our freedom, including the freedom not to vote (Ornstein). Voting is deemed a civic right rather than a duty. However, our society does impose obligations on citizens when the success of our nation is at stake. Two examples are jury service and paying taxes. In this passage from "Compulsory Voting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come," what claim is being made by the author? A. Jury duty is boring but an important service to the country. B. U.S. citizens already have compulsory obligations to their country. C. Forcing someone to vote is considered to be un-American. D. The country could not function without money from taxes.
