In a certain city the mean price of a quart of milk is 63 cents and the standard deviation is 8 cents. The average price of a package of bacon is $1.80 and the standard deviation is 15 cents. If we pay $0.89 for a quart of milk and $2.19 for a package of bacon at a 24-hour convenience store, which is relatively more expensive? To answer this, we compute Z-scores for each:

The formula to calculate the z-score of a data point is: ( z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma} ), where (x) is the data point, (\mu) is the mean of the data set, and (\sigma) is the standard deviation. For example, if you have a data point of 85, a mean of 75, and a standard deviation of 5, the z-score would be ( z = \frac{(85 - 75)}{5} = 2 ). This means the data point is 2 standard deviations above the mean.
The formula weight calculation of a mild steel rod (MS rod) involves adding the atomic weights of each element present in the rod. This includes the weight of iron (Fe) for the steel component and any other trace elements. The calculation typically follows the formula weight = (atomic weight of element 1 * number of atoms of element 1) + (atomic weight of element 2 * number of atoms of element 2) + ... and so on for all elements present in the rod.
Examples: melting point, boiling point, density.
The general formula for unsaturated hydrocarbons is CnH2n. Examples include alkenes and alkynes.
D-glucose and L-glucose are examples of enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror image molecules. They have the same chemical formula and bonds but differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.
For a 1kVA (kilo volt-ampere) load at 120V, the amperage would be approximately 8.33A (1000VA / 120V). This calculation is based on the formula: Amps = VA / Volts.
