A radioactive substance decays exponentially with a half-life of 500 years. After 1500 years, what percent of the radioactive ma

terial remains?

12.5%, every 500 years you take away half of the substance (50%) -> 25% -> 12.5%
you divide your number 3 times because 1500/500=3

Answer:

140 students are in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pie Chart, 70 students are 50%. So then, you multiply 50% of the survey to get 100% (the entirety surveyed). So 70 x 2 = 140

So there were 140 students in the school.

Suppose your waiting time for a bus in the morning is uniformly distributed on [0, 8], whereas waiting time in the evening is un

ycow [4]

Answer:

41/3

Step-by-step explanation:

given that your waiting time for a bus in the morning is uniformly distributed on [0, 8], whereas waiting time in the evening is uniformly distributed on [0, 10] independent of morning waiting time.

Sum of both waiting times = X+Y

Where X = morning wait time is U(0.8) and

Y = evening wait time is U(0,10)

Since X and Y are independent

Var(x+y) = Var(x)+Var(y)

Var(x) = $\frac{8^2-0^2}{12} \\=\frac{16}{3}$

Var(Y) = $\frac{10^2-0^2}{12} \\=\frac{25}{3}$

Var(x+y) $\frac{16+25}{3} \\=\frac{41}{3}$
