Question 4 (1 point) The half life of Cs-137 is 30.2 years. If the initial mass of the sample is 100kg, how much will remain after 151 years? Leave your answer as a decimal and do not round, Answer = kg Blank 1:​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.12 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass after t years:

The mass of the elements after t years is given by the following equation:

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

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

The half life of Cs-137 is 30.2 years.

This means that:

[tex]M(30.2) = 0.5M(0)[/tex]

We use this to find r.

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

[tex]0.5 = M(0)(1-r)^{30.2}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{30.2} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[30.2]{(1-r)^{30.2}} = \sqrt[30.2]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.5^{\frac{1}{30.2}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9773[/tex]

So

[tex]M(t) = M(0)(0.9773)^{t}[/tex]

If the initial mass of the sample is 100kg, how much will remain after 151 years?

This is M(151), with M(0) = 100. So

[tex]M(t) = 100(0.9773)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]M(151) = 100(0.9773)^{151} = 3.12[/tex]

The answer is 3.12 kg.

please help find the perimeter

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of the given figure = 28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the given figure = Length of AB + Length of BC + Length of CD + Length of DE + Length of EF + Length of FG + Length of GH + Length of AH

Length of AB = 4.5 units

Length of BC = 2 units

Length of CD = 2 units

Length of DE = 4 units

Length of EF = 5.5 units

Length of FG = 1.5 units

Length of HG = 1 units

Length of AH = 7.5 units

Perimeter of ABCDEFGH = 4.5 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 5.5 + 1.5 + 1 + 7.5

                                          = 28 units

200 students attend Ridgewood Junior High School. 25% of students bring their lunch to school everyday. How many students brought their lunch to school on Thursday?

Answers

sorry est un site Web Internet spécialement conçue 4

50 students.

25% of 100 is 25 and 200 is twice as much as 100. So then double the 25 to 50.

You can also set up a proportion of 25%/100% = ?/200 and cross multiply and divide.

Another way is to manipulate the numbers. Instead of 25% of 200 you can say 200% of 25. 200% is the same as saying twice as much as the number so what is twice the number 25? 50!

What is the area of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:

a² + b² = c²

2² + b² = 3²

4 + b² = 9

5 = b²

2.2 ≈ b

Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:

1/2(bxh)

1/2(2 x 2.2)

1/2(4.4)

2.2

Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:

We know that the longer leg is 3.8 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 6.

1/2(bxh)

1/2(2 x 3.8)

1/2(7.6)

3.8

Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:

3.8 + 2.2 = 6

A psychology professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 9% of scores B: Scores below the top 9% and above the bottom 56% C: Scores below the top 44% and above the bottom 20% D: Scores below the top 80% and above the bottom 6% F: Bottom 6% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 79.3 and a standard deviation of 8.4. Find the numerical limits for a D grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

You get a D if you have a grade between 66 and 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 79.3 and a standard deviation of 8.4.

This means that [tex]\mu = 79.3, \sigma = 8.4[/tex]

D: Scores below the top 80% and above the bottom 6%

So between the 6th and the 20th percentile.

6th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.06. So X when Z = -1.555.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.555 = \frac{X - 79.3}{8.4}[/tex]

[tex]X - 79.3 = -1.555*8.4[/tex]

[tex]X = 66.2[/tex]

Rounds to 66

20th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.2. So X when Z = -0.84.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X - 79.3}{8.4}[/tex]

[tex]X - 79.3 = -0.84*8.4[/tex]

[tex]X = 72.2[/tex]

Rounds to 72

You get a D if you have a grade between 66 and 72.
