Please answer this!!!

1) Shown below is a partially filled table indicating the weight percent difference that end-
groups make up of a polymer of varying degrees of polymerization (N). Mapprox. is the
approximate weight of the polymer NOT accounting for end groups whereas M is the mass of
the polymer accounting for end groups. Complete the table down below and suggest why
polymer chemists don't account for the weight of end groups when they make polymers of
high molecular weight.
