Answer:

$\frac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the probability by dividing the number of fixed gear bikers by the total number of bikers in the parade.

Since there are 8 fixed gear bikers and 52 bikers in total, this will be found by dividing 8 by 52.

So, the probability as a fraction is $\frac{8}{52}$

This can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

= $\frac{2}{13}$

So, the probability is $\frac{2}{13}$

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate paramet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Model</u>

The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.

The model can be expressed as

$M=M_oe^{kt}$

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.

The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming $k=-0.2$
