Answer:

12 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

15/5 = 3 half lives

(1/2)³ = 1/8 of the original amount will remain

96 * 1/8 = 12 grams

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay problems are very similar to compound interest formulas, except the rate is subtracted from one, instead of adding to one.

I.e.

mass at time t, m(t) = M (1 - r)^(t/h)

where

M = initial mass (grams)

m (t) mass left at time t (grams)

h = half-life in number of days

r = 0.5 from "half-life"

t = time lapse in number of days

Here

M = 96

h = 5

t = 15

m(15) = 96(1-0.5)^(15/5)

= 96 (1/2)^3

= 12 grams

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

since b is 110, you will have to divide 110 by 2 to find out the answer of c because its a half of b and that leaves you with 55, also a is 55 two

he probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1034
garri49 [273]

Answer:

0.0071 = 0.71% probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Sharks win, or they do not. The probability of the Sharks winning a game is independent of any other game. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694.

This means that p = 0.3694

An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games.

This means that n = 12

What is the probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month?

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.3694)^{9}.(0.6306)^{3} = 0.0071

0.0071 = 0.71% probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month.
