Answer:

<em>11.29 grams </em><em>of strontium-90 were present in the original rock sample in 1933.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Strontium has a half-life of 28.8 years. Therefore,

1989 - 1933 = 56 years.

56 / 28.8 = 1.94 half-lives

Thus, the quantity of the radioisotope remaining will double for each half-life elapsed. moving backwards in time.

Therefore, moving backwards in time by 1.94 half-lives, the quantity remaining will double by 1.94 times.

Thus, the amount remaining in 1933 is

3.0 × (1.94)² = <em>11.29 grams</em>

Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|} for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta} and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424

Now substitute the value of β in \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}.

\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

monthly amount of $220=R

interest rate is fixed at 2.05%. We require the monthly ineterest rate, hence monthly interest rate= 2.05%/12=0.1708%=0.0017

t=15years×12=180 months

In order to calculate how much should be in the account after 15 years, we would have to use the following formula:

Ap=<u>R(1-(1+i)∧-t)</u>

             i

Ap=<u>220(1-(1+0.0017)∧-180)</u>

                       0.0017

Ap=<u>162,04</u>

      0.0017

Ap=$95,321.85

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85
