Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:

A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate

Substituting the values,
A = (780 g)(e^-0.163*16)
A = 57.5 g

I need help with the the answer
kap26 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write

X=-2,-1,0,1,2

And the equation is y=3x+4-------(1)

First we should be put all the value in equation (1)

y=2,1,4,7,10

And the answer will

(x, y) ={ (-2,2),(-1,1),(0,4),(1,7),(2,8)}

Suppose a certain species of fawns between 1 and 5 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

z

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question:

"Suppose a certain species of fawns between 1 and 5 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with mean \mu =26 kilograms and standard deviation \sigma=4.2 kilograms. Let x be the weight of a fawn in kilograms. Convert the following z interval to a x interval.

X"

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(26,4.2)  

Where \mu=26 and \sigma=4.2

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We know that the Z scale and the normal distribution are equivalent since the Z scales is a linear transformation of the normal distribution.

We can convert the corresponding z score for x=42.6 like this:

z=\frac{42.6-26}{4.2}=3.95

So then the corresponding z scale would be:

z

What is the proportional relationship represented by this table?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

the constant of proportionality is 0.2 and it is a proportional relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

2 divided by 10 is 0.2

1 divided by 5 is 0.2

they have the same answer so they are proportional

since they have the answer 0.2 it

is there constant of proportionality

Part A: Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. If she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $27
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b

where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee

2 days

125 = 2x+b

5 days

275 = 5x+b  

Subtract

275 = 4x+b  

125 = 2x+b

---------------------

150 = 3x

Divide by 3

150/3 = 3x/3

50 =x

The cost per day is 50 dollars

y = 50x +b

Using the data for 2 days

125 = 50*2 +b

125 = 100 +b

125-100 = b

b = 25

The equation is y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost

The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept

Let x = 0, y =25

Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)

The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)

Draw a straight line
