Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
                              A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
                                0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
                                        n = 3819.48 
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.

Adam’s car traveled 465.3 miles on 16.5 gallons of gas. Which equation can be used to determine the average number of miles that
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

y=28.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In this problem

Let

x------> the number of gallons

y------> the number of miles

the relationship between the number of miles and the gallons of gas represent a linear direct variation

The constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

m=\frac{465.3}{16.5}= 28.2\frac{miles}{gallon}

therefore

the equation of the linear equation

y=28.5x

Researchers wanted to see which species of lizard (A, B, or C) is most likely to survive a bacterial infection. So they infected
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A) attached below

B) 0.61

C) 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Total number of lizards infected = 38

Of the 15 species B lizards 40% survived

For specie C one more survived than died

Out of the 24 lizards that died 1/3 were species A

<u>A) contingency table </u>

attached below

<u>B) Determine the proportion of these lizards in this study that were either specie A or Specie B </u>

P ( A or B ) = ( 8 + 15 ) / 38 = 0.605 ≈ 0.61

<u>C) determine the probability that specie C lizard did not study </u>

P ( not surviving  | C ) = 7 / 15 = 0.466 ≈ 0.47
