Solution

We are given

Half Life = 18 years

To solve for k

\begin{gathered} 0.5=e^{-18k} \\ ln(0.5)=-18k \\ k=-\frac{ln(0.5)}{18} \\ k=0.0385081767 \end{gathered}

What is the sum of the first 6 terms of the series <br> -1+4-16+...
Romashka [77]

Answer:

819

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • a = -1
  • r = - 4
  • n = 6

Formula

Sum = a(1 - r^n) / ( 1 - r)

Sum = -1(1 - (-4)^6 / (1 - -4)

Sum = -1 (1 - 4096) / 5

Sum = -1 (- 4095 ) / 5

Sum = 819

In a normal bell shaped curve, approximately which percentage of scores fall within 3 standard deviation (-3 to +3) or blank (34
Leokris [45]

Let x represent the scores. With mean and standard deviation given,

The Empirical rule states that

1) About 68% of the x values lie between 1 standard deviation below and above the mean

2) About 95% of the x values lie between 2 standard deviation below and above the mean

3) About 99.7% of the x values lie between 3 standard deviation below and above the mean

If we consider this rule, then the percentage of scores that fall within 3 standard deviation (-3 to +3) is 99% because this is closer to 99.7%

Inga [223]

Answer: they are he same as 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

onvert 3/4 to a percent. Begin by converting the fraction 3/4 into decimal. Multiply the decimal by 100 and write the result with the percentage sign: 0.75 × 100 = 75%.

6 out of 8 can be written as 6/8 and equals to 75%. Let's understand the conversion of a fraction to a percentage. To find the percent for this fraction, we have to find the number of parts that would be shaded out of 100. To convert a fraction to percent, we multiply it by 100/100.
