Answer: 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total batteries = 10

Batteries that are still working = 6

Number of ways to pick 3 working batteries = ^6C_3=\dfrac{6!}{3!3!}

=\dfrac{6\times5\times4\times3!}{6\times3!}\\\\=20

Number of ways of pick 3 batteries out of 10 =

^{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!7!}=\dfrac{10\times9\times8\times7!}{6\times7!}\\\\=120

Required probability = \dfrac{20}{120}=0.167

Hence, the probability that all of the first 3 she chooses will work = 0.167

Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmospher
Artemon [7]

Answer: 2500 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right myself but I'll give it a shot.

We use this formula to find half-life but we can just plug in the numbers we know to find <em>t</em>.

A(t)=A_{0}(1/2)^t^/^h

We know half-life is 5730 years and that the parchment has retained 74% of its Carbon-14. For A_{0 let's just assume that there are 100 original  atoms of Carbon-14 and for A(t) let's assume there are 74 Carbon-14 atoms AFTER the amount of time has passed. That way, 74% of the C-14 still remains as 74/100 is 74%. Not quite sure how to explain it but I hope you get it. <em>h</em> is the last variable we need to know and it's just the half-life, which has been given to us already, 5730 years, so now we have this.

74=100(1/2)^t^/^5^7^3^0

Now, solve. First, divide by 100.

0.74=(0.5)^t^/^5^7^3^0

Take the log of everything

log(0.74)=\frac{t}{5730} log(0.5)

Divide the entire equation by log (0.5) and multiply the entire equation by 5730 to isolate the <em>t</em> and get

5730\frac{log(0.74)}{log(0.5)} =t

Use your calculator to solve that giant mess for <em>t </em>and you'll get that <em>t</em> is roughly 2489.128182 years. Round that to the nearest hundred years, and you'll find the hopefully correct answer is 2500 years.

Really hope that all the equations that I wrote came out good and that that's right, this is definitely the longest answer I've ever written.
