Half life means exactly 1/2 of what's left decays
example

if yo has 16grams
if half life is 1 hour, after 1 hour, 8g is left
after another hour, 4g is left
after another your, 2g is left
etc


so find how many half lifes have elapes

so

the amount left after n halflives when you start with P amount is
A=P(1/2)^n

5hr=60*5=300mins
300/30=10
10 half lifves

P=1500
n=10
A=1500(1/2)^10
A=375/256
A≈1.46484g
about 1.5g left

 1) To find the confidence interval 
the sample mean x = 38     σ = 9; n = 85;
The confidence level is 95% (CL = 0.95) <span>CL = 0.95
so α = 1 – CL = 0.05   
</span><span>α/2 = 0.025   </span>Z(α/2) = z0.025  
The area to the right of Z0.025 is 0.025 and the area to the left of Z0.025 is 1 – 0.025 = 0.975
Z(α/2) = z0.025 = 1.645 This can be found using a computer, or using a probability table for the standard normal distribution.
<span>EBM = (1.645)*(9)/(85^0.5)=1.6058</span> x - EBM = 38 – 1.6058 = 36.3941 <span> x + EBM = 38 + 1.6058 = 39.6058
</span>The 95% confidence interval is (36.3941, 39.6058).
The answer is the letter D
<span>The value of 40.2 is <span>within the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the sample

</span></span>2) To find the confidence interval  <span>
<span>the sample mean x = </span>76     σ = 20; n = 102; </span><span>
The confidence level is 95% (CL = 0.95) CL = 0.95 
so α = 1 – CL = 0.05   
α/2 = 0.025   Z(α/2) = z0.025 
The area to the right of Z0.025 is 0.025 and the area to the left of Z0.025 is 1 – 0.025 = 0.975 
Z(α/2) = z0.025 = 1.645 This can be found using a computer, or using a probability table for the standard normal distribution.
EBM = (1.645)*(20)/(102^0.5)=3.2575 x - EBM = 76 – 3.2575 = 72.7424 </span>  x + EBM = 76 + 3.2575 = 79.2575 <span> 
The 95% confidence interval is (</span>72.7424 ,79.2575).<span>
The answer is the letter </span>A and the letter D<span>
The value of 71.8 and 79.8 <span> are </span> outside<span> the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the sample</span></span>

-3 is a solution of y &gt; -2<br> true or false
BartSMP [9]
That is false.  When you look at a number line, -3 is to the left of -2.  A number to the left of another number is less than the number to the right.
