Answer:

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the element:

The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}$

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years.

This means that $A(5750) = 0.5A(0)$ , and we use this to find k. So

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}$

$0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-5750k}$

$e^{-5750k} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{-5750k}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-5750k = \ln{0.5}$

$k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5750}$

$k = 0.00012054733$

So

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}$

A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 % of their carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were discovered?

Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:

$A(t) = 0.222A(0)$

Then

$0.222A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}$

$e^{-0.00012054733t} = 0.222$

$\ln{e^{-0.00012054733t}} = \ln{0.222}$

$-0.00012054733t = \ln{0.222}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.222}}{0.00012054733}$

$t = 12485$

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.

What is the quotient?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

● (-3/8) ÷(-1/4)

Flip the second fraction by putting 1 instead 4 and vice versa.

● (-3/8)* (-4/1)

-4 over 1 is -4 since dividing by 1 gives the same number.

● (-3/8)*(-4)

Eliminate the - signs in both fractions since multiplying two negative numbers by each other gives a positive number.

●( 3/8)*4

● (3*4/8)

8 is 2 times 4

● (3*4)/(4*2)

Simplify by eliminating 4 in the fraction.

● 3/2

The result is 3/2

2. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a mean of

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 37.31 b) 42.70 c) 0.57 d) 0.09

Step-by-step explaanation:

We are regarding a normal distribution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6, i.e., $\mu$ = 35 and $\sigma$ = 6. We know that the probability density function for a normal distribution with a mean of $\mu$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma$ is given by

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}]$

in this case we have

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}6}\exp[-\frac{(x-35)^{2}}{2(6^{2})}]$

Let $X$ be the random variable that represents a row score, we find the values we are seeking in the following way

a) we are looking for a number $x_{0}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{0})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{0}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.65$ , this number is $x_{0}$ =37.31

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.65, mean = 35, sd = 6)

b) we are looking for a number $x_{1}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{1})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{1}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.9$ , this number is $x_{1}$ =42.70

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.9, mean = 35, sd = 6)

c) we find this probability as

$P(28\leq X\leq 38)$ = $\int\limits^{38}_{28} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.57$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(38, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(28, mean = 35, sd = 6)

d) we find this probability as

$P(41\leq X\leq 44)$ = $\int\limits^{44}_{41} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.09$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(44, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(41, mean = 35, sd = 6)
