Answer:

B. 2.7 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life of a substance is the time taken for the substance to reduce to half of its original amount. It is given by:

A=A_o*(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}\\  Where\ A\ is \ the \ amount \ of \ substance\ remaining\ after\ t\ years, \\A_o \ is \ the\ initial\ value\ of \ the\ substance,\ t_{1/2} is\ the\ half\ life\ and\\t\ is\ the\ years\ spent

Given that:

Ao = 4 g, t = 3 years, t(1/2) = 5.26 years. Therefore:

A=A_o*(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}\\A=4*(\frac{1}{2} )^\frac{3}{5.26}=4*0.6735=2.7\\ A=2.7\ g

The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

X-2y=4 in slope intercept form
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

x - 2y = 4

-2y = -x + 4

2y = x - 4

y = 1/2x - 2
