Answer:

2.97 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Tungsten, W-181 is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 121 days.

We will use half-life formula to solve our given problem.

A=a\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}, where,

A = Final amount.

a = Initial amount,

t = Time,

h = Half life.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

A=24\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{365}{121}}

A=24\cdot 0.1235760503818562

A=2.9658252091\approx 2.97

Therefore, 2.97 kg of W-181 will be left after 1 year.

3 kg because one year is approximately 3 half-lives of W-181. The amount remaining would be 1/23<span> or 1/8. That is 3 kg of W-181.</span>

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%
