Answer: probability =  0.506

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Total people: 205 + 160 + 40 = 405

prefer cats: 205

prefer dogs: 160

neither: 40

The probability that a person chosen at random prefers cats is equal to the number of people that prefer cats divided the total number of people:

p = 205/405 = 0.506

in percent form, this is 50.6%

There are 7800 grams of lodine that have a half-life of 8 days. How much lodine will remain after 40 days?
anygoal [31]

Given that we know the initial mass of Iodine and its half-life, we want to see how much will remain after 40 days.

After 40 days, 244.17 grams of Iodine will remain.

<h3 /><h3>The half-life of materials and how to use it:</h3>

The half-life of a material is the time it takes for that amount of material to reduce to its half.

We can model the amount of Iodine as:

A(t) = A*e^{k*t}

  • Where A is the initial amount, in this case, 7800g.
  • k is a constant that depends on the half-life.
  • t is the time in days.

Replacing what we know, we get:

A(t) = 7800g*e^{k*t}

Now we use the fact that the half-life is 8 days, this means that:

e^{k*8} = 1/2

ln(e^{k*8}) = ln(1/2)

k*8 = ln(1/2)

k = ln(1/2)/8 = -0.0866

Then the function is:

A(t) =  7800g*e^{-0.0866*t}

So now we just need to evaluate this in t = 40.

A(40) = 7800g*e^{-0.0866*40} = 244.17g

So, after 40 days, 244.17 grams of Iodine will remain.

7. Given the following information, calculate, in order, the amount credited and the outstanding balance.
svp [43]

Answer:

C. $824.74, $175.26

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Amount Credited

The formula to calculate the amount credited =

Amount paid ÷ ( 100% - Discount)

Discount is given in the question as 3/10

Where 3 = Discount rate

Amount paid = $800

Amount credited = 800/( 100% - 3%)

= 800/ 97%

= 800/ 0.97

= $824.74

b) Outstanding balance = Invoice - Amount credited

Invoice = $1000

Amount credited = $824.74

Outstanding balance = $1000 - $824.74

= $175.26
