Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in order to efficiently bid on a contract, a contractor wants to be 95% confident that his error is less than two hours in estimating the average time it takes to install tile flooring.
Std deviation =4.5 errors
95% confidence interval = Mean±1.96*std dev
Hence we have
Sample size should be 20.
Answer:
The amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 72 days is 6.937 μg.
Step-by-step explanation:
The decay rate of Polonium-210 is the following:
(1)
Where:
N(t) is the quantity of Po-210 at time t =?
N₀ is the initial quantity of Po-210 = 10 μg
λ is the decay constant
t is the time = 72 d
The decay rate is 0.502%, hence the quantity that still remains in Alexander is 99.498%.
First, we need to find the decay constant:
(2)
Where t(1/2) is the half-life of Po-210 = 138.376 days
By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:
Therefore, the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 72 days is 6.937 μg.
