Answer:

After 20 years 18.75 gm of sample will remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life is the time it takes for any amount of Cobalt-60 to decay to half the starting amount.

20 years is 4 times the half-life of 5 years. So there would be

(300 g) / 2⁴ = 18.75 g

remaining after 20 years.

In other words, after 5 years, 300 g decays to 150 g.

After another 5 years (total 10 years), 150 g decays to 75 g.

After another 5 years (total 15 years), 75 g decays to 37.5 g.

After another 5 years (total 20 years), 37.5 g decays to 18.75 g.

If a given data point is (1,4) and the line of best fit is y = 1.5x + 3.25, what's the residual value?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The residual value is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that  

The residual value is the observed value minus the predicted value.

RESIDUAL VALUE=[OBSERVED VALUE-PREDICTED VALUE]

where

Predicted value.--> the predicted value given the current regression equation

Observed value. --> The observed value for the dependent variable.

in this problem

we have the point (1,4)

so

The observed value is 4

<em>Find the predicted value  for x=1 </em>

y =1.5(1)+3.25=4.75

predicted value is 4.75

so

RESIDUAL VALUE=(4-4.75)=-0.75
