The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required for half of a sample to undergo radioactive decay,or for the quant

ity to fall to half its original amount.Carbon 14 has a half-line of 5730 years.Suppose given samples of carbon 14 weigh 5/8 of a pound and 7/8 of a pound.What was the total weight of the samples 11,460 years ago?

Answer:

That's two half lives. 5/8 * 2 * 2 = 20/8 = 5/2 pounds7/8 * 2 * 2 = 28/8 = 7/2 pounds

guajiro [1.7K]

The question is incomplete. The complete question follows.

A company makes windows for use in homes and commercial builidings. The standards for glass thickness call for the glass to average 0.325 inch with a standard deviation equal to 0.065 inch. Suppose a random sample of n=44 windows yield a sample mean of 0.337 inch. Complete parts a and b.

a. What is the probability of x ≥ 0.337 if the windows meet the standards?

b. Based on your answer to part a, what would you conclude about the population of windows? Is it meeting the standards? (A result is unusual if it has a probability less than 0.05)

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: To answer this question, use <u><em>Central Limit Theorem</em></u>: it states regardless of the original population distribution, if the sample size is large enough, the sample mean distribution will approach a normal distribution.

The calculations for the CLT is given by normalizing the distribution, i.e.:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }

where

z is z-score

x is the sample mean

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation of the population

n is the number of individuals in the sample

Calculating z-score for the window maker company:

z=\frac{0.337-0.325}{0.065/\sqrt{44} }

z=\frac{0.012}{0.0098}

z = 1.22

Using the z-score table, we found the probability:

P = 0.8888

As it is a "more than situation":

P(x≥0.337) = 1 - 0.8888

P(x≥0.337) = 0.1112  or 11.12%

a. Probability of x≥0.337 if the windows meet the standards is 11.12%.

b. Comparing results, probability of x≥0.337 is bigger than 0.05:

0.1112 > 0.05

So, we can conclude that the random sample of n=44 is meeting the standards estipulated.

How do you write 5.9 in expanded form
tresset_1 [31]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
(5 * 1) + (9 * 0.1).<span>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To write a number in expanded form you have each digit multiplied by its numbers place and add each digit together. 5 is in the ones place so it becomes (5 * 1).
9 is in the tenths place so it becomes (9 * 0.1).
add them together to get (5 * 1) + (9 * 0.1)</span></span>

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean mu . assum
attashe74 [19]

To solve for the confidence interval for the population mean mu, we can use the formula:

Confidence interval = x ± z * s / sqrt (n)

where x is the sample mean, s is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size

 

At 95% confidence level, the value of z is equivalent to:

z = 1.96

 

Therefore substituting the given values into the equation:

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.96 * 5.8 / sqrt (51)

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.59

Confidence interval = 1.41, 4.59

 

Therefore the population mean mu has an approximate range or confidence interval from 1.41 kg to 4.59 kg.

The area of this rectangle is 165 sq meters the width is 22 meters what’s is the perimeter?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

59 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A=L*W

165=L*22

L=165/22=7.5

7.5=L

P=L+L+W+W

7.5+7.5+22+22=59
