<span>60.5 milligrams per square centimeter
First, determine how many half lives have expired by dividing the time by the half-life. So:
55/20 = 2.75
That means that only 2^(-2.75) = 0.148650889 = 14.8650889% of the original substance remains. So just divide the amount remaining by 0.148650889 to get the original amount.
9 / 0.148650889 = 60.5445419
So originally, there was 60.5 milligrams per square centimeter 55 years ago.</span>
2 consecutive integers...x and x + 1
x + x + 1 < = 3
2x + 1 < = 3
2x < = 3 - 1
2x < = 2
x < = 1
x + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.......the greatest possible value for the greatest integer is 2
Answer:
640 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can consider 4 seconds to be 1 time unit. Then 8 more seconds is 2 more time units, for a total of 3 time units.
The distance is proportional to the square of the number of time units. After 1 time unit, the distance is 1² × 80 m. Then after 3 time units, the distance will be 3² × 80 m = 720 m.
In the additional 2 time units (8 seconds), the ball dropped an additional
... (720 -80) m = 640 m
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can write the equation for the proportionality and find the constant that goes into it. If we use seconds (not 4-second intervals) as the time unit, then we can say ...
... d = kt²
Filling in the information related to the first 4 seconds, we have ...
... 80 = k(4)²
... 80/16 = k = 5
Then the distance equation becomes ...
... d = 5t²
After 12 seconds (the first 4 plus the next 8), the distance will be ...
... d = 5×12² = 5×144 = 720 . . . meters
That is, the ball dropped an additional 720 -80 = 640 meters in the 12 -4 = 8 seconds after the first data point.
Answer:
The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is T = 1.316.
The 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana is between 2.741 pounds and 2.859 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 26 - 1 = 25
80% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 25 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 
. So we have T = 1.316
The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is T = 1.316.
The margin of error is:
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.8 - 0.059 = 2.741 pounds
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.8 + 0.059 = 2.859 pounds.
The 80% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Montana is between 2.741 pounds and 2.859 pounds.
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is figured out by adding all 4 sides.
Width of 11 + width 11 + length 15 + length 15 = 52
And the length of 15 is 4 more than the width of 11
