Answer:
20,944 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula you use for this type of decay problem is the one that uses the decay constant as opposed to the half life in years. We are given the k value of .00012. If we don't know how much carbon was in the bones when the person was alive, it would be safer to say that when he was alive he had 100% of his carbon. What's left then is 8.1%. Because the 8.1% is left over from 100% after t years, we don't need to worry about converting that percent into a decimal. We can use the 8.1. Here's the formula:
where N(t) is the amount left over after the decay occurs, is the initial amount, -k is the constant of decay (it's negative cuz decay is a taking away from as opposed to a giving to) and t is the time in years. Filling in accordingly,
Begin by dividing the 100 on both sides to get
Now take the natural log of both sides. Since the base of a natual log is e, natural logs and e "undo" each other, much like taking the square root of a squared number.
ln(.081)= -.00012t
Take the natual log of .081 on your calculator to get
-2.513306124 = -.00012t
Now divide both sides by -.00012 to get t = 20,944 years
Answer: 1.467
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula of Margin of Error for (n<30):-
Given : Sample size : n= 22
Level of confidence = 0.90
Significance level :
By using the t-distribution table ,
Critical value :
Standard deviation:
Then, we have
Hence, the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population mean with a 90% confidence level =1.467
