The answer is: buffers

Explanation for each option:

  • Buffers: Correct. Buffers are substances that help maintain a stable pH in the body by neutralizing small amounts of acids or bases. They are crucial in restoring pH to a slightly basic level, which is around 7.4 in the human body.
  • Solutions: Incorrect. While solutions can contain buffers, the term "solutions" is too broad and does not specifically address the function of maintaining pH balance.
  • Acids: Incorrect. Acids would lower the pH, making it more acidic, which is not the goal when trying to restore pH to a slightly basic level.
  • Electrolytes: Incorrect. Electrolytes are ions that help conduct electrical impulses in the body, but they do not specifically address pH balance.

Summary: The normal functioning of the body creates small pH imbalances that are addressed by the creation of buffers to restore pH to a slightly basic level.

The scores of students on the SAT college entrance examinations at a certain high school had a normal distribution with mean μ=551.6 and standard deviation σ=27.1. (a) What is the probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 556 or higher? ANSWER: For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of 30 students who took the test. (b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score x̄, of 30 students? The mean of the sampling distribution for x̄ is: The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x̄ is: (c) What z-score corresponds to the mean score x̄ of 556? ANSWER: (d) What is the probability that the mean score x̄ of these students is 556 or higher?
