Answer:

approximately 27 grams

Work Shown:

Half life formula

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

where,

A = starting amount = 30 grams

H = half life period = 90 years

x = number of years that pass by = 12

y = amount left over after x years

Let's plug the values for x, A and H into the formula to find y

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

y = 30*(0.5)^(12/90)

y = 27.3516746567466

y = 27 .... rounding to the nearest whole number

OLga [1]

Answer:

The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of this data is the highest value, 22, subtracted by the lowest value, 1:  22-1 = 21.

Using boundaries, the first bar would go from 0.5-3.5; the second from 3.5-6.5; the third from 6.5-9.5; the fourth from 9.5-12.5; the fifth from 12.5-15.5; the sixth from 15.5-18.5; the seventh from 18.5-21.5; and the eighth from 21.5-24.5.

The frequency of the first bar, its height, would be 1; the height of the second bar is 2; the height of the third bar is 3; the height of the fourth bar is 2; the height of the fifth bar is 3; the height of the sixth bar is 1; the height of the seventh bar is 1; and the height of the eighth bar is 1.
