Answer:
Mean, m = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, Carl earned grades of 62, 78, 59, and 89 on four math tests.
It is required to find the mean of his grades.
Mean of a data is given by :

Sum of observations is 62 + 78 + 59 + 89 = 288
Total no of observations are 4
So, mean of his grades is :

So, the mean of his grades is 72.
(126) times (1/2 to the x/11 power) = 15% times 126
(1/2) to the x/11 power = 0.15
Take the log of both sides :
(x/11) times log(1/2) = log(0.15)
Multiply both sides by 11 :
'x' times log(1/2) = 11 x log(0.15)
Divide both sides by " log(1/2) " :
x = 11 x log(0.15)/log(1/2) = <em><u>30.107 years</u></em> (rounded)
That's the time it takes for <em><u>any-size</u></em> sample of this substance
to decay to 15% of its original size.
