Nick starts with 20 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 14 each week for a number of

weeks, w. He writes the expression 20(14)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks. Autumn starts with 5 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 50% each week for a number of weeks, w. She writes the expression (1?0.5)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Nick's and Autumn's expressions mean.

Answer:

Eric's expression is :

20(\frac{1}{4})^w

and Andrea's is :

(1-0.5)^w

In Eric's expression, 20 represents the initial amount of substance with which he has started the experiment. \thinspace \frac{1}{4}\thinspace is the amount of substance left after each time period (in this case, each week).The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.

Andrea's expression can be written as :

1\cdot (1-0.5)^w

The one outside of parentheses represents the initial amount of the substance. The one inside of parentheses represents 100% of the original amount of the substance. 0.5 represents the 50% of the substance that is lost each time period. The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick starts with 20 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 12 each week for a number of weeks, w. He writes the expression 20(12)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks.

Autumn starts with 1 milligram of a radioactive substance. The amount of the substance decreases by 50% each week for a number of weeks, w. She writes the expression (1−0.5)w to find the amount of radioactive substance remaining after w weeks.

Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Nick's and Autumn's expressions mean.

Calculate the mean deviation by median (by using the mid-point(x) of leaf weights. b) A fair die is rolled. Find the probability
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

hello attached below is the required table that is missing and the completed table as well

A) mean deviation = 0.1645

B) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we calculated the midpoint value (x) and c.f

N = 27

median class = 2.35 to 2.45

median = l + [ (N/2) - cf / F ] * H

             = 2.35  + [ (13.5 - 13) / 6 ] *0.1 = 2.3583

hence mean deviation by median

= summation of  fi |xi -M| / summation of fi

= 4.4417 / 27 = 0.1645

B ) probability of getting an odd number or prime number or both

the probability of an odd number = 1/2

also the probability of an even number = 1/2

while the probability of getting neither of them = 1/3

hence the probability of getting odd or prime or both

= 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 = 2/3
