Answer:

  7371 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Carbon-14 is reportedly about 5730 years. Then the exponential decay equation can be written as ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/5730)

where f is the fraction remaining after t years.

Taking logarithms and solving for t, we find ...

  log(f) = (t/5730)log(1/2)

  t = 5730·log(f)/log(1/2)

For the fraction f = 0.41, the age is approximately ...

  t = 5730·log(0.41)/log(1/2) ≈ 5730·1.286304 ≈ 7371 . . . years

The age of the skull could be estimated to be 7371 years.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 10.1\text{ ft}10.1 ft and the height of the
rjkz [21]

Answer:

28.5 ft^3

58.3 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x length x width x height

Perimeter of a pyramid = 4 x length

10.1 = 4 x length

length = 10.1 / 4 = 2.525

1/3 x (2.525 x 2.525 x 13.4) = 28.5 ft^3

1/3 x (6.1 x 6.1 x 4.7) = 58.3 m^3

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

There are eight students in a class. Only one of them has passed Exam P/1 and only one of them has passed Exam FM/2. No student
Svetach [21]

Answer: There is probability of 0.57 chances that exactly three students from a group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 8

Number of student who has passed Exam P/1 = 1

Number of student who has passed Exam FM/2 = 1

No student has passed more than one exam.

According to question, exactly three students from a randomly chose group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.

So, Probability will be

\frac{^6C_3\times ^2C_1}{^8C_4}\\\\=\frac{20\times 2}{70}\\\\=\frac{4}{7}\\\\=0.57

Hence, there is probability of 0.57 chances that exactly three students from a group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.
