Problem

Element Y has two stable isotopes: 63Y^{63}\text{Y} with a mass of 62.9296 u and 65Y^{65}\text{Y} with a mass of 64.9278 u. The isotopes occur in a ratio of 3 atoms of 63Y^{63}\text{Y} for every 2 atoms of 65Y^{65}\text{Y}. Determine the average atomic mass of element Y to four significant figures.
