Answer:

t=6.2days

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a substance half-life in days. round your answer to the nearest tenths

k value=0.1124

N0=33 grams

since the questions says the time it takes for the substance to reduce to half of its size. the initial mass doesn't matter

N=N0e^-kt

N/N0=e^-kt

take laperian log of both sides

Ln(N/N0)=-kt

Ln(0.5)=-0.1124t

-0.693=-0.1124t

t=6.16

t=6.2days

Note: Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material to reduce to half of its size/mass.

A 33 gram sample has k value of .1124
(Actually I think the problem SHOULD be worded: A 33 gram sample has k value of -.1124/days)

See attached graphic:
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.1124/days
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 6.1667882562 </span> </span> </span> days

What is the slope of this line?
MrMuchimi

We can use the coordinates (-4, 5) and (0, 6) to find the slope.

Slope Formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Solve: \frac{6 - 5}{0 - (-4)} = \frac{1}{4}

The slope of the line is \Large\boxed{\mathsf{1/4}}

Written in slope-intercept form: y = 1/4x + 6

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

In this exercise, we are conducting many hypothesis tests to test a claim. Assume that the null hypothesis is true. If 400 tests
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Since the null hypothesis is true, finding the significance is a type I error.

The probability of the year I error = level of significance = 0.05.

so, the number of tests that will be incorrectly found significant is computed as follow: 0.05 * 100 = 5

Therefore, 5 tests will be incorrectly found significant given that the null hypothesis is true.
