50 grams of that sample will be left after 20 years since it’s only gone through one half-life exactly.

\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &20\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{20}{20}}\implies A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1\implies A=50

Three fourths a number plus 8 is 20 less than the number
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Equation:  \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Solve for n:  n = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:

'three fourths a number' =  \frac{3}{4} n

'plus 8' = + 8

'is' =

'20 less' = - 20

'the number' = n

Put the expressions together:

'three fourths a number plus 8':  \frac{3}{4}n+8

'20 less than the number': n - 20

Set them equal to each other and solve: \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Add 20 to both sides: \frac{3}{4}n+8+20=n-20+20

Subtract \frac{3}{4}n from both sides: \frac{3}{4}n-\frac{3}{4}n+28=n-\frac{3}{4}n

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{1}: \frac{4}{1}28=\frac{1}{4}n\frac{4}{1}

Solve for n:  n = 112

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 b
jeka94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information; Let's assume that  R should represent the set of all possible outcomes generated from  a bit string of length 10 .

So; as each place is fitted with either 0 or 1

\mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

Similarly; the event E signifies the randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0

Now;

if  a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely

The probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely is;

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{|E|}{|R|}}

so ; if bits string should not contain a 0 and all other places should be occupied by 1; Then:

\mathbf{{|E|}=1 }   ; \mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}}
