Answer:

\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}

sveta [45]

Complete question:

A market analyst is hired to provide information on the type of customers who shop at a particular store. A random survey is taken of 100 shoppers at this store. Of these 100, 73 are women. The shoppers The data is summarized below. we grouped in three age categories, under 30, 30 up to 50 and 50 and over. Women under 30 are 30, Men under 30 are 8 Women 30 to 50 are 25 and Men are 14 Women 50 and over are 18 and Men are 5.

Let W be the event that a randomly selected shopper is a woman. Let A be the event that a randomly selected shopper is under 30. a.) Find the probability of W. W (women Shoppers) = Find the probability of A. b.) Find the probability of A and W. c.) P (A and W) (Shoppers) d.) Find the probability of A or W. P(A or W) (Shoppers) e.) Find the probability of A given W

Answer:

A) P(W) = 73/100; B) P(A) = 38/ 100 C) 30 / 100

D) 81/100 E) 30/73

Step-by-step explanation:

- - - - - - - - Women Men Total

Under 30 - - - 30 - - - 8 - - 38

30 to 50 - - - - 25 - - 14 - - 39

50 & over - - - 18 - - - 5 - - -23

Totals - - - - - - 73 - - -27 - - 100

Recall:

Probability : P= (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

A) probability of women shoppers: P(W)

Number of women shoppers = 73; total shoppers = 100

P(W) = 73/100

B) Probability of under 30: P(A)

= number of shoppers under 30 = 38

Tital number of shoppers = 100

P(A) = 38/ 100

C) probability of A and W; This is the probability that the selected person is a woman and under 30.

(W n A) = 30

= 30 / 100

D) probability of A or W:

P(A) + P(W) - P(A n W) :

(38 / 100 + 73 / 100 - 30 / 100) = (38+73-30) /100

= 81/100

E) probability of A given W:

P(A n W) / P(W) = 30/73

When a sprinkler is installed in the ground, the spray of water goes up and falls in the pattern of a parabola. The height, in i
poizon [28]

Answer:

96feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray

To get the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head, we will simply substitute x =2 into the function and et the height h as shown;

From the equation

ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

h(2) = 160-16(2)²

h(2) = 160-16(4)

h(2) = 160-64

h(2) = 96feet

Hence the height will be 96feet if the spray is 2feet away from the sprinklers head

Add up the answer first to see of these correct or incorrect, if incorrect explain why it is not equal.
Stells [14]

Answer:

1) incorrect

2) incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-2x = 0 ?

-2x -2x = -4x

It will be 0 only if x = 0.

Not always true, so incorrect

x+x = x² ?

2x = x²

They will be equal if x = 0 or 2.

Not always true so incorrect
