The isotope known as carbon-14 is radioactive and will decay into the stable form nitrogen-14. As long as an organism is alive,

it ingests air, and the level of carbon-14 in the organism remains the same. When it dies, it no longer absorbs carbon-14 from the air, and the carbon-14 in the organism decays.
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5770 years. Assume an organic sample is 15,000 years old.

Determine how many half-lives are in 15,000 years. Then use this answer to determine what percentage of the original amount of carbon-14 remains after 15,000 years. Round your answer as a percentage to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

  • about 2.6 half-lives
  • 16% remains

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of half-lives is ...

  (15000 yr)/(5770 yr/half-life) = 2.6 half-lives

__

Then the amount of C14 remaining after 15000 years is ...

  0.5^2.6 ≈ 0.1649 ≈ 16%

Answer: Choice A) mean, there are no outliers

Have a look at the image attached below. I made two dotplots for the data points. The blue points represent bakery A. The red points represent bakery B. For any bakery, the points are fairly close together. There is no point that is off on its own. So there are no outliers, making the mean a good choice for the center. If there were outliers, then the median is a better choice. The mean is greatly affected by outliers, while the median is not.

What is 93 divided by 7
igomit [66]
7 goes into 9, that's 1.
Remaining 2.

Move the 2 close to 3, you have 23.

7 into the 23, that's 3 times. 3 times 7 is 21.
So you are left with 2.

The answer is 13 remainder 2.
