Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of  samarium-151  originally present (No) = 5 g

Mass of  samarium-151 discovered (N) = 0.625 grams

time taken = ?

half life of samarium-151 (t1/2) = 96.6 years

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

0.625/5 = (1/2)^t/96

0.125 = (1/2)^t/96

1/8 = (1/2)^t/96

(1/2)^3 = (1/2)^t/96

3 = t/96

t = 3 * 96

t = 288 years

The mass of europium-151 when the rock was discovered is obtained from;

Fraction of  samarium-151  left = 1/8

Fraction of  europium-151 formed = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Mass of  europium-151 = 7/8 * 5 = 4.375 g

What sort of information can you get from conditional frequencies that you couldn't get by just looking at the relative frequenc
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

<h2>Conditional frequencies offer more specific information to analyse certain data set.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A conditional frequency is a type of relative frequency which involves a condition to be defined.

For example, the conditional frequency of having a house given that the person is female. Notice that this example shows the condition "being female", so the conditional frequency would be all females who own a house.

On the other hand, the relative frequency is just a ratio between the frequency of the data and the total number of  data. It's doesn't includes a condition to be defined, that's the difference.

Therefore, conditional frequencies offer more specific information to analyse certain data set.

Jane bought a sofa on sale for $629. This price was 26% less than the original price. What was the original price? ​
Nadya [2.5K]

26% less = 74% of the original

In other word, $289 is 74% of the Original Price

629 = 74% * x

629 = .74*x

629/.74 = x

x = 850

Original price is $850
