Answer:

\boxed{6.875 \text{\: grams}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-lives are how long it takes for half of a substance to decay. If you start with a certain amount and it decays for a certain amount of half-lives, you are dividing by 2^{x}, where <em>x</em>  is equal to the amount of half-lives.

In order to solve this question, simply divide the starting value by 2 raised to the value of half-lives.

\large\boxed{\frac{220}{2^{5}}=6.875\text{\: grams}}

topjm [15]

Answer:

X= 6

Y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-9x=24

10x-9(x-2)=24

10x-9x+18=24

x=24-18

x=6

Y=x-2

Y=6-2

Meteorologists look for weather trends across US states in the same geographical region. Kentucky and Illinois share a border. T
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The average annual temperatures (°F) from 1991 to 2000 for Kentucky were 57.5, 55.1, 52.2, 55.6, 55.6, 54.4, 54.5, 58.3, 57.3, and 55.7.

We have to evaluate the measures of center.

Firstly, we will calculate the mean.

Mean = (Sum of all the observations)/ (Total number of observations)

Mean =  \frac{57.5+55.1+52.2+55.6+55.6+54.4+54.5+58.3+57.3+55.7}{10}

= \frac{556.2}{10}

= 55.62

Now, we will calculate mode.

Mode is a statistical term that refers to the most frequently occurring number found in a set of numbers.

Consider the data 57.5, 55.1, 52.2, 55.6, 55.6, 54.4, 54.5, 58.3, 57.3, and 55.7.

Mode = 55.6

Now, we will calculate the median.

Firstly, we will arrange in the ascending order.

52.2, 54.4, 54.4,55.1 ,55.6, 55.6, 55.7, 57.3, 57.5, 58.3

Since there are 10 terms.

Median = \frac{n}{2}th observation

Median = 5th observation.

Since, the 5th observation is 55.6.

Therefore, the median is 55.6
