Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Number of Valence Electrons for Each Atom

First, we need to determine the number of valence electrons for each atom in the compound HOCl.

  • Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron.
  • Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons.
  • Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons.
Step 2: Sum the Valence Electrons

Next, we sum the valence electrons for all the atoms in the compound.

\[ 1 \, (\text{H}) + 6 \, (\text{O}) + 7 \, (\text{Cl}) = 14 \, \text{valence electrons} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{14}\)

Based on a survey, 32% of likely voters would be willing to vote by internet instead of the in-person traditional method of voting. For each of the following, assume that 14 likely voters are randomly selected Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What is the probability that exactly 11 of those selected would do internet voting? (Round to five decimal places as needed.) b. If 11 of the selected voters would do internet voting, is 11 significantly high? Why or why not? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice. (Round to five decimal places as needed) A. Yes, because the probability of 11 or more is which is low B. No, because the probability of 11 or more is which is low. C. No because the probability of 11 or more is which is not low. D. Yes, because the probability of 11 or more is which is not low
