The answer is C. Because it takes 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 atoms to decay. It says that 50% of the carbon atoms have decayed so that means that 5730 years have elapsed for that fossil.
I hope that helps.
Answer:
39.2 is the mean
the deviation is 15.2
Step-by-step explanation:
the mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms = 39.2
the deviation measures the spread of a data distribution of the sample = 15.2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Number of children = x = 59
Number of Adults = y = 166
On a certain hot summer's day, 225 people used the public swimming pool.
x + y = 225
x = 225 - y
The daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.00 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $435.25.
$1.75 × x + $2.00 × y = $435.25
1.75x + 2y = 435.25
We substitute 225 - y for x
Hence:
1.75(225 - y ) + 2y = 435.25
393.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 435.25
Collect like terms
-1.75y + 2y = 435.25 - 393.75
0.25y = 41.5
y = 41.5/0.25
y = 166 Adults
Note that:
x = 225 - y
x = 225 - 166
x = 59 children
Hence, the number of children is 59 and the number of Adults is 166
