Answer:

\mu = 5.2

\sigma = 2.257

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 260 -- samples

p = \frac{1}{50} --- one in 50

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

\mu = np

\mu = 260 * \frac{1}{50}

\mu = 5.2

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

\sigma = \sqrt{\mu * (1-p)}

\sigma = \sqrt{5.2 * (1-1/50)}

\sigma = \sqrt{5.2 * 0.98}

\sigma = \sqrt{5.096}

\sigma = 2.257

Hello!

A sample of Bromine-82 begins at 80 mL. We are given that this value will decrease by half of its current amount every 35 hours. First, we'll determine the number of times that 35 goes into 140. This will reveal the number of times we should divide the sample by 2:

140 ÷ 35 = 4

We have now proven that there are 4 periods of 35 hours in 140 hours. This means that we will divide the sample in half a total of 4 times, as follows:

1. 80 ÷ 2 = 40
2. 40 ÷ 2 = 20
3. 20 ÷ 2 = 10
4. 10 ÷ 2 = 5

We have now proven that an 80 mL sample of Bromine-82 will be reduced to only 5 mL after 140 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 mL.

I hope this helps!
