The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Recall that m(t) = m.(1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500 g sample of phosphorus-32 decays to 356 g over 7 days. Calculate the half life of the sample.

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is 14.28days^{-1}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate the half life of the sample is given as:

m(t)=m_o(1/2)^{t/h}

where,

m(t) =  amount of sample after time 't' = 356 g

m_o = initial amount of the sample = 500 g

t = time period = 7 days

h = half life of the sample = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

356=500\times (\frac{1}{2})^{7/h}\\\\h=14.28days^{-1}

Hence, the half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is 14.28days^{-1}

The image of (6, 9) under a dilation is (4, 6).
Ad libitum [116K]
For this case we have the following ordered pairs:
 (6, 9)
 (4, 6)
 The scale factor can be found in two different ways:
 k = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5&#10;&#10;k = 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5
 Therefore, the scale factor is given by:
 k = 1.5&#10;
 Answer:
 
The scale factor of the dilation is 1.5

A baby weighed 7.25 pounds at birth. At the end of 8 months, the baby weighed 212
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1537pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

  Weight of baby at birth  = 7.25 pounds

   

Unknown:

Weight at the end of 8months = ?

Solution:

 From the second sentence;

    Weight at the end of the eighth month = 212 x weight at birth.

Input the parameters and solve;

  Weight at the end of eighth month = 212 x  7.25  = 1537pounds

An automotive manufacturer has developed a new type of tire that the research team believes to increase fuel efficiency. The man
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

One tailed

To conclude if there is an increase in the mean gas mileage due to new type of tire.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The manufacture wants to compare increase in the mean gas mileage.

Population mean = 32 miles per gallon

Thus, the manufacture could carry a hypothesis test to compare mean.

A one tailed test (z-test or t-test) based on the information can be used to compare the increase in mean.

Thus,

The automotive manufacturer should perform a one tailed hypothesis test to conclude if there is an increase in the mean gas mileage due to new type of tire.
