Answer:

The percentage of the students who completed the poll preferred rock and roll music.

P(RR) = 0.1423 = 14.23 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given total number of students n(S) = 1960

Given the Students at a high school were polled to determine the type of music they preferred.

Rap 916

Alternative 46

Rock and Roll 279

Country 183

Jazz 32

Other 89

Let ' RR' be the event of Rock and Roll preferred music

given Rock and Roll = 279

n( RR) = 279

The percentage of the students who completed the poll preferred rock and roll music.

$P(RR) = \frac{n(RR)}{n(s)} = \frac{279}{1960}$

P(RR) = 0.1423 = 14.23 %

Two different radioactive isotopes decay to 10% of their respective original amounts. Isotope A does this in 33 days, while isot

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay of an isotope is represented by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

Where:

$m$ - Current mass of the isotope, measured in kilograms.

$t$ - Time, measured in days.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in days.

The solution of the differential equation is:

$m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Where $m_{o}$ is the initial mass of the isotope, measure in kilograms.

Now, the time constant is cleared:

$\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

$\tau = -\frac{t}{\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }$

The half-life of a isotope ( $t_{1/2}$ ) as a function of time constant is:

$t_{1/2} = \tau \cdot \ln2$

$t_{1/2} = -\left(\frac{t}{\ln\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }\right) \cdot \ln 2$

The half-life difference between isotope B and isotope A is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left| -\left(\frac{t_{A}}{\ln \frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2+\left(\frac{t_{B}}{\ln \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

If $\frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} = \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} = 0.9$ , $t_{A} = 33\,days$ and $t_{B} = 43\,days$ , the difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left|-\left(\frac{33\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2 + \left(\frac{43\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

$\Delta t_{1/2} \approx 65.788\,days$

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.

Answer:

2. B

3. B

4. 2(7k+5h)

5. $325

Step-by-step explanation:

2) "X decreased by the sum of 2x + 5" Decreased means to be lowered, so that means this problem has subtraction in it. It also says x is being decreased BY the sum of 2x + 5 so that means 2x + 5 needs to be solved, which calls for parentheses. B best fits the description.

3) It is B because if you distribute the 8 to 2a and 3b, you'll get 16a and 24b, which is the given expression.

4) The given expression is 10h + 14k and in the equivalent expression, you are given 5h. To get from 10 to 5, you must divide by 2. This tells you that 2 is being distributed, so you put 2 before the parentheses. Since you divided 10 by 2, you want to do the same to 14, which is 7. Therefore, it is 2(7k+5h).

5) You are given the hourly charge, which is $25. This means that they charge $25 per hour/for every hour. You want to find the cost for 13 hours, so you multiply the hourly charge by 13 hours. 25 x 13 = 325.
