About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to <em>decay</em>.

The mass of radioisotopes (m), measured in milligrams, decreases exponentially in time (t), measured in days. The model that represents such decrease is described below:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (1)

Where:

  • m_{o} - Initial mass, in milligrams.
  • m(t) - Current mass, in milligrams.
  • \tau - Time constant, in days.

In addition, the time constant is defined in terms of half-life (t_{1/2}), in days:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (2)

If we know that m_{o} = 85\,mg, t_{1/2} = 27.7\,d and m(t) = 8.5\,mg, then the time required for decaying is:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}

\tau = \frac{27.7\,d}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 39.963\,d

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}

t = -(39.963\,d)\cdot \ln \frac{8.5\,mg}{85\,mg}

t\approx 92.018\,d

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to <em>decay</em>.

Doug sold 125 sandwiches to raise money for his boy scout troop. 80% of those sandwiches were sold in his neighborhood. How many
grigory [225]

Answer:

Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for percentage you have to first find the percentage's decimal. To find this you have to the move the decimal point up to places. This makes 80 into 0.8. After you do this you will mutiply that but the total amount. So 125 times 0.8. Once you do this you should get 100. This means that Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

Following a group of truck drivers and noting the number of miles traveled for one year refers to which type of statistical stud
maria [59]

Considering that the data is only noted and not changed, this is an example of an observational study.

<h3>What are observational and experimental studies?</h3>

  • Experimental study: In an experimental study, there is an intervention in a sample, and it's effect is studied.
  • Observational study: In an observational study, the sample is just analyzed, without any intervention.

In this problem, the data, which is the number of miles traveled, is only analyzed, no interventions are made, hence this is an example of an observational study.
