Question 3 (1 point) Co-60 has a half life of 5.3 years. If a pellet that has been in storage for 26.5 years contains 14.5g of Co-60, how much of this radioisotope was present when the pellet was put in storage? Answer = grams Blank 1:​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

464 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of substance:

The amount of substance after t years is given by an equation in the following format:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Co-60 has a half life of 5.3 years.

This means that:

[tex]A(5.3) = 0.5A(0)[/tex]

We use this to find r. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{5.3}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{5.3} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[5.3]{(1-r)^{5.3}} = \sqrt[5.3]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.5^{\frac{1}{5.3}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.8774[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.8774)^{t}[/tex]

If a pellet that has been in storage for 26.5 years contains 14.5g of Co-60, how much of this radioisotope was present when the pellet was put in storage?

We have that [tex]A(26.5) = 14.5[/tex], and use this to find A(0). So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.8774)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]14.5 = A(0)(0.8774)^{26.5}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = \frac{14.5}{(0.8774)^{26.5}}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = 464[tex]

464 grams.

Find the value of the 32
term, 232

Answers

Answer:

The 32th term is 127.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. The general equation for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

In which d is the common difference.

It can also be written as:

[tex]a_n = a_m + (n - m)d[/tex]

75th term is equal to 342, and the 4th term, 24, is equal to - 13.

This means that [tex]a_4 = -13, a_75 = 342[/tex]. We use this to find d. So

[tex]a_{75} = a_4 + (75 - 4)d[/tex]

[tex]342 = -13 + 71d[/tex]

[tex]71d = 355[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{355}{71}[/tex]

[tex]d = 5[/tex]

Find the value of the 32th term:

[tex]a_n = a_m + (n - m)d[/tex]

[tex]a_{32} = a_{4} + (32 - 4)d[/tex]

[tex]a_{32} = -13 + 28(5) = -13 + 140 = 127[/tex]

The 32th term is 127.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y = x² In(x).

Let U = x², V = lnx

du/dx = 2x

One of those nutrients was calcium in all adults 60 years or older a mean daily calcium intake of 721 mg with a standard deviation of 454. Usin these values for the mean and standard deviation for the U.S. population, find the probability that a randonm sample of size 50 will have a mean: (mg). They found a) Greater than 800 mg b) Less than 700 mg. c) Between 700 and 850 mg.

Answer:

0.10935

0.3718

0.9778

0.606

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = 721 ; σ = 454 ; n = 50

P(x > 800)

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ/sqrt(n)

P(x > 800) = (800 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x > 800) = 79 / 64.205295

P(x > 800) = 1.23

P(Z > 1.23) = 0.10935

2.)

Less than 700

P(x < 700) = (700 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x < 700) = - 21/ 64.205295

P(x < 700) = - 0.327

P(Z < - 0.327) = 0.3718

Between 700 and 850

P(x < 850) = (850 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x < 850) = 129/ 64.205295

P(x < 700) = 2.01

P(Z < 2.01) = 0.9778

P(x < 850) - P(x < 700) =

P(Z < 2.01) - P(Z < - 0.327)

0.9778 - 0.3718

= 0.606

Find the equation of the line parallel to y=6 that contains the point (-1,1). Write the equation in slope intercept form

Answers

Given:

The equation of parallel line is [tex]y=6[/tex].

The line contains the point (-1,1).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The equation of parallel line is

[tex]y=6[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]y=(0)x+6[/tex]

The slope of this line is 0.

The slopes of two parallel lines are always equal. So, the slope of the required line is also 0. It passes through the point (-1,1) so the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-1=0(x-(-1))[/tex]

[tex]y-1=0[/tex]

[tex]y=1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the required line is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Given, Each note book is 2 inches thick, How many notebooks do you think it would take to make a stack that is 5 feet high

Solution

Thickness of each book [tex]= \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

The total height of the book stack is [tex]5[/tex] feet.

The number of books in the stack is equal to total height of the stack divided by the thickness of one book

Number of books in five feet high stack is

An exponential distribution is formed by the waiting times for a patient in the emergency room. The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes. Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we should understand the exponential distribution and conditional probability.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Which has the following solution:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes.

This means that [tex]m = 38, \mu = \frac{1}{38} = 0.0263[/tex]

Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes?

Event A: Taking more than 37 minutes.

Event B: More than 37 + 41 = 78 minutes.

Probability of taking more than 37 minutes:

[tex]P(A) = P(X \leq 37) = 1 - e^{-0.0263*37} = 0.6221[/tex]

More than 37 minutes and more than 78 minutes:

The intersection is more than 78 minutes, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(X > 78) = e^{-0.0263*78} = 0.1286[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1286}{0.6221} = 0.207[/tex]

0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes
