Answer:

(n-5)+45

Step-by-step explanation:

where n is the number, you always take away 5 and you add 45 because that is the first number of the sequence

Answer:

a) The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b) 0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\lambda$ is the mean in the given interval.

a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.

29,742 atoms decayed during 365 days, which means that:

$\lambda = \frac{29742}{365} = 81.485$

The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

This is P(X = 50). So

$P(X = 50) = \frac{e^{-81.485}*(81.485)^{50}}{(50)!} = 0$

0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$(3/4)$ and $(2/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fraction of the form $(p / q)$ , the number in front of the division ( $p$ ) is the numerator. The number after the division ( $q$ ) is the denominator.

$\begin{aligned} \frac{p}{q} \quad \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{numerator})}{(\text{denominator})}\end{aligned}$ .

A positive fraction $(p/q)$ ( $p,\, q > 0$ ) is less than $1$ as long as the numerator $p$ is smaller than the denominator $q$ (that is, $p < q$ .) The reason is that as long as $p,\, q > 0$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{p}{q} < 1 \\ \iff & (q)\, \left(\frac{p}{q}\right) < (q)\, (1) && (\text{given that $q > 0$}) \\ \iff & p < q\end{aligned}$ .

For example, in the fraction $(2/3)$ , $2$ is the numerator while $3$ is the denominator. Both the numerator and the denominator are positive, while the numerator $2\!$ is smaller than the denominator $3\!$ . Therefore, $(2/3)$ would be less than $1$ .
