You have 480 grams of a radioactive kind of samarium. If its half-life is 90 years,

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

120 grams will be left after 180 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

$N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$N(t)$ = quantity of the substance remaining

$N_0$ = initial quantity of the substance

$t$ = time elapsed

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the substance

From the information given we know that:

The initial quantity is 480 g,
The half-life is 90 years,
180 years is the time elapsed.

And we want to find how much will be left. For this we use the above formula.

$N(t)=480\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{180}{90}}\\\\N(t)=480\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\\\\N(t)=480\cdot \frac{1}{2^2}=120$

120 grams will be left after 180 years.

The diameter of the moon is 2,160 miles. A model has a scale of 1 in : 150 mi. What is the diameter of the model?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Diameter of the moon = 2,160 miles

The scale on the model represents 1 in = 150 miles

Let the model represents k inches in 2,160 miles.

So, by the Ratio of Proportionality:

$\frac{1}{150} = \frac{k}{2160}$

⇒ $k = \frac{2160}{150} \\\implies k = 14.4$

or, k = 14.4 inches

⇒On the scale 2160 miles is represented as 14.4 inches

Hence the diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.

Why are unbiased estimators preferred over biased estimators?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Generally an unbiased statistic is preferred over a biased statistic. This is because there is a long run tendency of the biased statistic to under/over estimate the true value of the population parameter. Unbiasedness does not guarantee that an estimator will be close to the population parameter.
