The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass

. Starting with 195 grams of a radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 6 half-lives?

Half of the starting amount remains after 1 half-life. So after 6 half-lives, the starting amount is halved 6 times, meaning that a 195 g sample would decay down to

(195 g)/2^6 = 195/64 g ≈ 3 g

Cooper's USB drive is 1··2full with 5 video files. Each video file is the same size. What fraction of the USB drive does 1 video
lidiya [134]

Answer:

the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is given below:

= USB drive × number of video file ÷ number of video file

= half × 1 ÷ 5

= 0.5 × 1 ÷ 5

= 0.10

= 10%

Hence, the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is 10%

Americans receive an average of 20 Christmas cards each year. Suppose the number of Christmas cards is normally distributed with
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.

<h3>Probability</h3>

a. Distribution

X ~ N (20 , 6)

b. P(x ≤24)

= P[(x - μ ) / σ  (24 - 20) / 6]

= P(z  ≤0.67)

=  0.74857

=0.7486

Hence:

Probability = 0.7486

c. P(21 < x < 26)

= P[(21 - 26)/ 6) < (x - μ  ) / σ   < (24 - 20) / 6) ]

= P(-0.83 < z < 0.67)

= P(z < 0.67) - P(z < -0.)

=  0.74857- 0.2033

= 0.54527

Hence:

Probability =0.54527

d. Using standard normal table ,

P(Z < z) = 66%

P(Z < 0.50) = 0.66

z = 0.50

Using z-score formula,

x = z×  σ +  μ

x = 0.50 × 6 + 20 = 23

23 Christmas cards

Therefore the distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.
