62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Half-life = T =  60 days

The formula for calculating the quantity after n half lives is given by:

N = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n

Here

N is the final amount

N_0 is the initial amount

n is the number of half lives passed

The number of half lives are calculated by dividing the time for which the remaining quantity has to be found by half life

The quantity has to be calculated for 240 days so,

n = \frac{240}{60}\\n = 4

Given

N_0 = 1000\ mg

Putting the values in the formula

N = 1000 (\frac{1}{2})^4\\=1000 * \frac{1}{16}\\=\frac{1000}{16}\\=62.5\ mg

Hence,

62.5 mg sample will remain after 240 days

Which of the following is an example of independent events?
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is Choice B because each of these events are separate items.  Each of the others choices will have a part of the additional events that are affected by the first event.  When the first event happens in each of these options, the second event's probability is affected by the first outcome.  The number of total outcomes changes because of the first event in all choices, except for choice B.

Is -¼ + 2 ¼y + 2 - y equivalent to y + 2 ?
Juliette [100K]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

-\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{4}y+2-y=y+2

(-\frac{1}{4}+2)+(2\frac{1}{4}y-y)=y+2\\

(\frac{(-1)+(4)(2)}{4})+(\frac{9}{4}y-y)=y+2

(\frac{-1+8}{4})+(\frac{(9)(1)-(4)(1)}{4} )y=y+2

(\frac{7}{4})+(\frac{9-4}{4} )y=y+2

(\frac{7}{4})+(\frac{5}{4})y=y+2
