Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 5 years, its mass decreases by half.
Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 590 grams, how much of the
element would remain after 23 years, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 24 grams of element would remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function for decay:

[tex]f(x)=Ab^{\frac{x}{n}}[/tex] ....(i) , where A = initial value , b = decay factor, x = time , n= time per period

As per given,

A = 569 grams , [tex]b=\dfrac12[/tex]

n= 5 years, t = 23 years

Put all values in (i) , we get

[tex]f(23)=590(\dfrac12)^{\frac{23}{5}}\\\\\\=590\times 0.0412346222117\\\\=24.3284271049\approx 24[/tex]

Hence, after 23 years , 24 grams of element would remain.

A manufacturing company uses two different machines, A and B, each of which produces a certain item part. The number of defective parts produced by each machine is about 1 percent. Suppose two independent random samples, each of size 100, are selected, where one is a sample of parts produced by machine A and the other is a sample of parts produced by machine B. Which of the following is true about the sampling distribution of the difference in the sample proportions of defective parts?
A The mean is 0 and the distribution is approximately normal
B The mean is 0 and the distribution will not be approximately normal
C The mean is 0.01 and the distribution is approximately normal
D The mean is 0.01 and the distribution will not be approximately normal.
Ε The mean is 1 and the distribution is approximately normal.

Answers

Answer:

B: The mean is 0 and the distribution will not be approximately normal

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that the mean is 0 because it is the difference in the population proportions, 0.01−0.01. However, normality cannot be assumed because the sample sizes are not large enough.

The sample distribution is defined as the probability distribution of a given sample based on statistics.

The correct option is (a).

Given:

The defective parts produced by each machine is 1%.

The sample Size is 100.

Calculate the proportion of the defective parts.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{100}=0.01[/tex]

Thus, the mean of each machine is 0.01.

Now, the mean difference between both machine is 0 and proportion will be normally distributed.

What is logarithmic function? What is equation modelling? What is a mathematical equation and expression?In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a number [x] to the base [b] is the exponent to which [b] must be raised, to produce [x]. We can write -

        [tex]y=log_{e} (x)[/tex]

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is the logarithmic equation as

2log(4x) − log(49) = 2

2log(4x) = 2 + log(49)

2{log(4) + log(x)} = 2 + log(49)

{log(4) + log(x)} = {2 + log(49)}/2

log(4) + log(x) = 1 + log(49)/2

log(4) + log(x) = 1.85

log(x) = 1.85 - log(4)

log(x) = 1.25

x = e^(1.25)

x = 3.5 {approx.}

Therefore, the value of [x] will be equivalent to x = 3.5.

Vertex of the cross section?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]p=1/2\ or\ 0.5\ inches[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Equation of cross section is [tex]y+5= \frac{1}{2x^2}[/tex]

Generally the equation can be rewritten mathematically as

  [tex]y+5= \frac{1}{2}x^2[/tex]

  [tex]x^2=(y+5)2[/tex]

  [tex](x-0)^2=(y-(-5))2[/tex]

Generally the equation of a parabola with vertical axis is mathematically given by

[tex](x - h)2 = 4p(y - k)[/tex]

Therefore  comparing equations

[tex](x-0)^2=(y-(-5))2[/tex]

[tex]4p=2[/tex]

[tex]p=2/4[/tex]

The distance from the bulb to the vertex of the cross section is given by

[tex]p=1/2\ or\ 0.5\ inches[/tex]

The larger of two numbers is 17 more than twice the smaller. When the larger number is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 6. Find the two numbers

Answers

Answer:

The numbers described here are 39 and 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the numbers a and b, a being the larger. We're told two things:

The larger of the two numbers is 17 more than twice the smaller.

Which we can express as:

a = 2b + 17

When the larger number is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 6

And that can be expressed as:

a = 3b + 6

We can now take those two expressions and, noting that they both define a, we can say that they are equivalent, and solve for b:

2b + 17 = 3b + 6

3b - 2b = 17 - 6

b = 11

With b found, we can now take either of the first expressions, and solve for a:

a = 2b + 17

a = 2(11) + 17

a = 22 + 17

a = 39

Now we can check whether that is correct by plugging it into the other expression and seeing if b still comes to 11:

a = 3b + 6

39 = 3b + 6

3b = 33

b = 11

So we know that the answer is correct.

How to solve system of two equations:

First of all, we should get one variable in terms of other variable in one equation and substitute this variable in another equation. And solving that we get two variables value.

If you have two different equations with the same two unknowns in each, you can solve for both unknowns. There are three common methods for solving: addition/subtraction, substitution, and graphing.

Here,

let's consider price of hot dogs = x and price of hamburgers = y

then, 164x + 74y = $706 --- ( 1 )

and 256x + 61y = $884 --- ( 2 )

Now,  from eq - 1 we get x = ($706 - 74y) / 164

Substitute this x value in eq - 2,

256($706 - 74y)/164 + 61y = $884

=> $706*256 - 74y*256 + 61y*164 = $884 * 164

=> 180,736-8940y = 144,976

=> 180,736 - 144,976 = 8940y

=> 35,760/8940 = y

=> y = $4.

By substituting in eq - (1) we get x = $2.5

So, The price of hot dog = $2.5

4.A board is 7 3/4 feet in length. How many full sizes pieces of board 1 1/3 feet in length can a carpenter cut from that board of wood

Answers

Answer:

5 full pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Board\ Length = 7\frac{3}{4}ft[/tex]

[tex]Pieces = 1\frac{1}{3}ft[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of pieces that can be cut from the board

This is calculated by dividing the board length by the length of each piece.

[tex]Number = \frac{Board\ Length}{Pieces}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 7\frac{3}{4} / 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Convert to improper fractions

[tex]Number = \frac{31}{4} / \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Change / to *

[tex]Number = \frac{31}{4} * \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{31*3}{4*4}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{93}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 5.8125[/tex]

Round down to discard the decimal parts

[tex]Number = 5[/tex]

Hence, the carpenter can cut full-sized 5 pieces
