Answer:

9 White marbles are present in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of White marbles present in the bag be X and number of Yellow marbles present be Y .

Then according to the question ,

X + Y = 16      -(1)        (As total marbles are 16)

Also,

X = 2Y - 5      -(2)

From Equation 1 , X = 16 - Y  , Comparing with Equation 2 , we get,

16 - Y = 2Y - 5

3Y = 21.

Y = 7.

So, X = 16 - Y = 16 - 7 = 9.

Thus, 9 White marbles are present in the bag.

When studying radioactive​ material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365​ days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 973 co
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

A. number of decayed atoms = 73.197

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we need to use the radioactive decay equation:

N(t)=N0*e^{kt} where:

N0=initial radioactive atoms

t=time

k=radioactive decay constant

In our case, when t=0 we have 1,000,000 atoms, so:

1,000,000=N0*e^{k*0}

1,000,000=N0

Now we need to find 'k'. Using the provied information that after 365 days we have 973,635 radioactive atoms, we have:

973,635=1,000,000*e^{k*365}

ln(973,635/1,000,000)/365=k

-0.0000732=k

A. atoms decayed in a day:

N(t)=1,000,000*e^{-0.0000732t}

N(1)=1,000,000*e^{-0.0000732*1}

N(1)= 999,926.803

Number of atoms decayed in a day = 1,000,000 - 999,926.803 = 73.197

B. Because 'k' represents the probability of decay, then the probability that on a given day 51 radioactive atoms decayed is k=0.0000732.
