Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for

carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.

100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t

A chi-square test for goodness of fit is used to examine the distribution of individuals across three categories, and a chi-squa
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Equal df

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a chi square test for goodness of fit is used to examine the distribution of individuals across three categories,

Hence degree of freedom = 3-1 =2

Similarly for a chi-square test for independence is used to examine the distribution of individuals in a 2×3 matrix of categories.

Here degree of freedom = (r-1)(c-1) where r = no of rows and c =no of columns

= (2-1)(3-1) = 2

Thus we find both have equal degrees of freedom.

The solution
m = s + 5 
<span>m - 4 = (3s) - 3 </span>
<span>(s + 5) - 4 = 3s - 3 </span>
<span>s + 1 = 3s - 3 </span>
<span>s = 3s - 4 </span>
<span>-2s = -4 </span>
<span>s = 2 </span>
<span>m = 7 </span>
<span>Check this: </span>

<span>m - 4 = 3s - 3 </span>
<span>7 - 4 = 3(2) - 3 </span>
<span>3 = 6 - 3 </span>
<span>3 = 3 </span>

<span>So Sandy is 2 and Megan is 7.</span>
