Answer:

6.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to find the number of half-lives in 26.3 years, we simply divide 26.3 yrs by 5.26 yrs which yields 5 half-lives. This means that in 26.3 yrs the 200 grams of cobalt-60 will undergo 5 half-lives.

To obtain the remaining amount we simplify the expression;

A = 200*(1-0.5)^(26.3/5.26)

  = 200*(0.5)^(5)

  = 6.25 grams.

Therefore, the amount of a 200 g sample of colbalt-60 that will remain after 26.3 years is 6.25 grams

Part a)

P(junior) = (number of juniors)/(number total)

P(junior) = 235/705

P(junior) = 1/3 exactly

P(junior) = 0.33333 approximately

======================================

Part b)

P(freshman and LG) = (number of freshman who have LG)/(number total)

P(freshman and LG) = 70/705

P(freshman and LG) = 14/141 exactly

P(freshman and LG) = 0.09929 approximately

======================================

Part c)

n(junior) = number of juniors = 235

n(samsung) = number of people who have samsung = 274

n(junior and samsung) = number of juniors who have samsung = 93

----

n(junior or samsung) = n(junior)+n(samsung)-n(junior and samsung)

n(junior or samsung) = 235+274-93

n(junior or samsung) = 416

----

P(junior or samsung) = n(junior or samsung)/n(total)

P(junior or samsung) = 416/705 exactly

P(junior or samsung) = 0.59007 approximately

======================================

Part d)

n(sophomore and apple) = number of sophomores who have apple

n(sophomore and apple) = 80

n(apple) = number of students who have apple

n(apple) = 261

P(sophomore | apple) = n(sophomore and apple)/n(apple)

P(sophomore | apple) = 80/261 exactly

P(sophomore | apple) = 0.30651 approximately

======================================

Part e)

define the events

A = junior who has apple

B = junior who has samsung

C = person is a junior

n(A or B) = number of juniors who have apple or samsung

n(A or B) = n(A) + n(B) ... A and B assumed mutually exclusive

n(A or B) = 87+93

n(A or B) = 180

n(C) = 235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = n(A or B)/n(C)

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 180/235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 36/47 exactly

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 0.76596 approximately
