Answer:

probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit = 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the probability of Caroline buys a fruit P = 0.4

So probability of Caroline does not buy the fruit = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Probability Caroline buys a CD P = 0.2

So probability of Caroline does not buy the CD = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

So probability that Caroline does not buy either buy CD or fruit = 0.8×0.6=0.48

So probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit =1-0.48 = 0.52

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that has a half-life of 5,730 years. Approximately how many years will it take for carbon-14
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

<em>Carbon-14 will take 19,035 years to decay to 10 percent.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Decay Function</u>

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay.

An exponential decay can be described by the following formula:

N(t)=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

No  = The quantity of the substance that will decay.

N(t) = The quantity that still remains and has not yet decayed after a time t

\lambda     = The decay constant.

One important parameter related to radioactive decay is the half-life:

\displaystyle t_{1/2}=\frac {\ln(2)}{\lambda }

If we know the value of the half-life, we can calculate the decay constant:

\displaystyle \lambda=\frac {\ln(2)}{ t_{1/2}}

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years, thus:

\displaystyle \lambda=\frac {\ln(2)}{ 5,730}

\lambda=0.00012097

The equation of the remaining quantity of Carbon-14 is:

N(t)=N_{0}e^{-0.00012097\cdot t}

We need to calculate the time required for the original amout to reach 10%, thus N(t)=0.10No

0.10N_o=N_{0}e^{-0.00012097\cdot t}

Simplifying:

0.10=e^{-0.00012097\cdot t}

Taking logarithms:

ln 0.10=-0.00012097\cdot t

Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{log 0.10}{-0.00012097}

t\approx 19,035\ years

Carbon-14 will take 19,035 years to decay to 10 percent.

Eric's class consists of 12 males and 16 females. If 3 students are selected at random, find the probability that they
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'M' be the event of selecting males n(M) = 12

Number of ways of choosing 3 students From all males and females

n(M) = 28C_{3} = \frac{28!}{(28-3)!3!} =\frac{28 X 27 X 26}{3 X 2 X 1 } = 3,276

Number of ways of choosing 3 students From all males

n(M) = 12C_{3} = \frac{12!}{(12-3)!3!} =\frac{12 X 11 X 10}{3 X 2 X 1 } =220

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = \frac{n(M)}{n(S)} = \frac{12 C_{3} }{28 C_{3} }

P(E) =  \frac{12 C_{3} }{28 C_{3} } = \frac{220}{3276}

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%
