A geologist in South America discovers a bird skeleton that contains 43% of its original amount of C-14. K value
1 answer:
The age of the bird skeleton is 6539.
<h3>What is Exponent Function?</h3>An exponential function is a function of form f (x) = aˣ, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.
Here, N =
= 52% N₀
= 0.52
-0.0001 t = ln 0.52
t = -10000 ln 0.52
t = 6539
Thus, the age of the bird skeleton is 6539.

We are asked to find the probability that a data value in a normal distribution is between a z-score of -1.32 and a z-score of -0.34.
The probability of a data score between two z-scores is given by formula .
Using above formula, we will get:
Now we will use normal distribution table to find probability corresponding to both z-scores as:
Now we will convert into percentage as:
Upon rounding to nearest tenth of percent, we will get:
Therefore, our required probability is 27.4% and option C is the correct choice.
