When studying radioactive​ material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365​ days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 973 co

mma 903 radioactive​ atoms, so 26 comma 097 atoms decayed during 365 days. a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day. b. Find the probability that on a given​ day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Answer: A) 71.498 ; b) 0.00152

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of atoms that decayed during 365 days period = 26,097

Number of days = 365

Mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day:

Mean = number of decayed atoms / number rof days

Mean = 26,097 / 365

Mean = 71.498 atoms per day

B.) probability that 50 radioactive atoms decayed in a given day:

Using the poisson distribution formula :

P(x =x) = (m^x * e^-m) ÷ x!

Where m = mean

Mean (m) = 71.498

P(x = 50) = (71.498^50 * e^-71.498) / 50!

P(x = 50) = (71.498^50 * 2.7182818^-71.498) / 50!

= 4.60795E61 / 50!

= 0.0015150

Write an equation of the parabola shown.
zzz [600]

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a parabola parallel to the x-axis: (y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h).

Vertex = (h, k) = (0, 0)

Directrix: x = h - p = -2.

Since h and k are 0, p must be 2.

Therefore the equation is y^2 = 8x.

Find the perimeter of △ABC with vertices A(−5, −5), B(3, −5), and C(−5, 1).
icang [17]
Check the picture below.

so notice, the sides AB and AC you can pretty much count them off the grid.

now, to get the CB side.

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
C&({{ -5}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
B&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -5}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
CB=\sqrt{[3-(-5)]^2+[-5-1]^2}\implies CB=\sqrt{(3+5)^2+(-5-1)^2}
\\\\\\
CB=\sqrt{8^2+(-6)^2}\implies CB=\sqrt{100}\implies CB=10

sum all three sides up, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.
