When studying radioactive​ material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365​ days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 972 co

mma 737 radioactive​ atoms, so 27 comma 263 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, 51 radioactive atoms decayed.

Answer:

a) 74.69

b) 0.08% probability that on a given​ day, 51 radioactive atoms decayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.

27,263 atoms in 365 days. The mean is

\mu = \frac{27263}{365} = 74.69

b. Find the probability that on a given​ day, 51 radioactive atoms decayed.

This is P(X = 51).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-74.69}*(74.69)^{51}}{(51)!} = 0.0008

0.08% probability that on a given​ day, 51 radioactive atoms decayed.

The equation of the function f(x) is f(x) = 2 sin(π/2(x + 6)) - 3

<h3>How to create the sine function?</h3>

A sine function is represented as:

f(x) = A sin(B(x + C)) + D

Where

A = Amplitude

Period = 2π/B

C = Phase shift

D = Vertical shift

The requirements in the question are:

  • Amplitude not equal to 1
  • Period not equal to 2π
  • Non-zero phase and vertical shifts

So, we can use the following assumptions

A = 2

Period = 4

C = 6

D = -3

So, we have:

f(x) = 2 sin(B(x + 6)) - 3

The value of B is

4 = 2π/B

This gives

B = π/2

So, we have:

f(x) = 2 sin(π/2(x + 6)) - 3

<h3>The amplitude, vertical shift, period of f(x)and the phase shift</h3>

Using the representations in (a), we have:

  • Amplitude = 2
  • Vertical shift = -3
  • Period = 4
  • Phase shift = 6

<h3>The graph of the function</h3>

See attachment for the graph of f(x)

<h3>The value of cos θ </h3>

Let θ = 3π

So, we have:

cos(3π)

This is calculated as:

cos(3π) = cos(2π + π)

Expand

cos(3π) = cos(2π) *cos(π) - sin(2π) *sin(π)

Evaluate

cos(3π) = -1

<h3>The value of sin θ </h3>

Let θ = 3π

So, we have:

sin(3π)

This is calculated as:

sin(3π) = sin(2π + π)

Expand

sin(3π) = sin(2π) *cos(π) + cos(2π) *sin(π)

Evaluate

sin(3π) = 0

<h3>The value of tan 2θ </h3>

Let θ = 3π

So, we have:

tan(2 * 3π)

tan(6π)

This is calculated as:

tan(6π) = tan(3π + 3π)

Evaluate

tan(3π) = 0

garik1379 [7]
4 (of whatever your mathematical unit is)

you times 4500 by 0.0575 and then divide 1035 by that number and then you get 4.
