The half life of the radioactive isotope to the nearest tenth is  0.83 days.

<h3>What is rate of radioactive decay?</h3>

The rate of radioactive decay is the rate at which a radioactive isotope is disintegrated. The half life is the time taken for half of the original amount of radioactive isotope to remain.

Given that;

t/12 = 0.693/k

Where;

t1/2 - half life

k =decay constant

t/12 = 0.693/0.84

t/12 = 0.83 days

The mean cost of a five pound bag of shrimp is 42 dollars with a variance of 49. If a sample of 54 bags of shrimp is randomly se
Brrunno [24]

The probability that the sample mean would be less than 43.4 dollars is 0.9292.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true.

From the information, the mean cost of a five pound bag of shrimp is 42 dollars with a variance of 49 and a sample of 54 bags of shrimp is randomly selected.

Therefore, the probability will be:

P(x < 43.4)

Using normal distribution

= P(z < 43.4 - Mean( / 7/✓54)

= P(z < 43.4 - 42( / 7/✓54)

= P(z < 1.4697)

= 0.9292

The probability is 0.9292.

Megan is checking her tax bill for the last year.
Tanya [424]
Given that Megan's tax rates were as follows:
<span>No tax one the first £11000 of earnings
</span><span>Earnings in excess of £11000 and up to £43000 taxed at a rate of 20%
</span><span>Earning in excess of 43000 and up to £150000 taxed at a rate of 40%
</span>Earnings over £150000 taxed at a rate of 45% 
If Megan earned £158900 before tax last year, the amount of tax she paid in total is given as follows:
First <span>£11000 = </span><span>£0 tax
</span>Balance after first <span>£11000 = </span><span>£158900 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£147900
</span>
Next (<span>£43000 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£32000) = 20% of </span><span>£32000 = 0.2 x </span><span>£32000 = </span>£6400 tax
Balance after next <span>£32000 = </span><span>£147900 - </span><span>£32000 = </span><span><span>£115000</span> </span>

Next (<span>£150000 - </span><span>£43000 = </span><span>£107000) = 40% of </span><span>£107000 = 0.4 x </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£42800 tax</span>
Balance after next <span>£107000 = </span><span>£115000 - </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£8000</span>

Remaiming <span>£8000 = 45% of </span><span>£8000 = 0.45 x </span><span>£8000 = </span><span>£3600 tax</span>

Total tax = <span>£6400 + </span><span>£42800 + </span><span>£3600 = </span><span>£52800

Therefore, she paid a total of </span><span>£52800 in tax last year.</span>

Input value for the function machine that gives an output value of 3.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x = –1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

y = √(–2x + 7)

y = 3

x =?

The value of x can be obtained as follow:

y = √(–2x + 7)

3 = √(–2x + 7)

Take the square of both side

3² = –2x + 7

9 = –2x + 7

Collect like terms

9 – 7 = –2x

2 = –2x

Divide both side by –2

x = 2 / –2

x = –1
