Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years. 
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g. 
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives; 
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
 1/8 = (1/2)^n
 n = 3 
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.

<h3>What was conclusion of Edward jenner in case of small pox?</h3>

He also came to the conclusion that small pox may be passed from one person to the next. Edward Jenner came to this conclusion based on stories he had heard about dairy maids being immune to smallpox.

In 1736, Edward Jenner met Sarah Nelms, a young dairy girl with small pox lesions. Edward Jenner then vaccinated an 8-year-old kid named James Phipps with material from Nelms' small pox lesion. James Phipps suffered a fever and became unwell, but he recovered completely after ten days.

Jenner infected the same boy with materials from a fresh small pox lesion a month later. There was no sickness in the boy.

When Edward Jenner was inoculated/vaccinated with matter from a small pox lesion, he came to the conclusion that he could acquire total protection from small pox.
