How to solve chemical compound problems in Algebra

In this lesson you’ll learn how to find the molar mass of chemical compounds given the molar mass of individual atoms, and how to find the molar mass of individual atoms given the molar mass of a compound or molecule.

Solving proportions of complex fractions with cross multiplication

When you have complex fractions as a proportion you can solve for the variable or rewrite them by using cross multiplication. After cross multiplication, you’ll end up with a fraction set equal to another fraction, and you can then use cross multiplication a second time.

Hypothesis testing with a population proportion

Up to now we’ve been focused mostly on hypothesis testing for the mean, but we can also perform hypothesis tests for a proportion. In order for the test to work, we’ll need np≥10 and n(1-p)≥10, where p is the probability of a success, and 1-p is the probability of failure.

Calculating test statistics for means and proportions for one- and two-tailed tests

With any hypothesis test, we need to state the null and alternative hypotheses, then determine the level of significance. We’ve already covered these first two steps, and now we want to learn how to calculate the test statistic, which will depend on whether we’re running a two-tail test or a one-tail test.
