Answer:

a) -dm/m = k*dt

b) m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) m= 8.842 gr

( same results obtained previously by Xero099)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of radium is proportional to its quantity . Denoting as m the mass of Radium , and t as time. we have:

a) -dm/dt = k*m , where k is the proportionality constant

b) solving the differential equation;

-dm/m = k*dt

∫dm/m = -∫k*dt

ln m = -k*t + C

for t=0 , we have m=m₀ (initial mass)

then

ln m₀ = 0 + C → C=ln m₀

therefore

ln (m/m₀) = -k*t

m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) for t= 1690 years , the quantity of radium is half , then m=m₀/2 , thus

ln (m₀/2/m₀) = -k*t

ln (1/2) =   -k*t

(ln 2 )/t = k

k =  ln 2  / 1690 years = 4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹

then for m₀= 10 g

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) at t= 300 years

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*300 years) = 8.842 gr

then the mass is m= 8.842 gr

Answer:

a) \frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m, b) m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }, c) m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }, d) m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let assume an initial mass m decaying at a constant rate k throughout time, the differential equation is:

\frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m

b) The general solution is found after separating variables and integrating each sides:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

Where \tau is the time constant and k = \frac{1}{\tau}

c) The time constant is:

\tau = \frac{1690\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau = 2438.155\,yr

The particular solution of the differential equation is:

m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }

d) The amount of radium after 300 years is:

m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

Suppose that a sample of size 100 is to be drawn from a population with standard deviation L0. a. What is the probability that t
NARA [144]

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean will lie within 2 values of μ is 0.9544.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

  • the sample size is given as 100
  • the standard deviation is 10

The probability that the sample mean lies with 2 of the value of μ is given as

                                            P(| \bar{X}-\mu|

Here converting the values in z form gives

P(-2

Substituting values

P(-2

From z table

P(z\leq 2)=0.9772\\P(z\leq -2)=0.0228\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=P(z\leq 2)-P(z\leq -2)\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=0.9772-0.0228\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=0.9544\\

So the probability that the sample mean  will lie within 2 values of μ is 0.9544.
