Carbon-14 tests are often performed to determine the age of an organism that died a long time ago. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. If a turtle shell is found and tested to have 65% of its original carbon-14, how old is it

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2006 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it had 50% of its carbon-14 it would be 5730 years old.

Since it has 65% left it is younger than 5730 years.

So it is (1 - 0.65) * 5730

= 2005.5 years old.

Find the standard equation for the circle with center on the negative y -axis and passing through the origin with radius of 3.

A. x^2 + y^2 = 9
B. (x + 3)^2 + y^2 = 9
C. x^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 9

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C : x² + (y +3)² = 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general equation for a circle is ( x - h )² + ( y -k )²= r², Where,

r is the radius.(h , k) is the center.

Let the point be ( 0 , -y) , since it is on negative y axis . And the circle passes through the origin that is (0,0) . Hence the center will be 3 units down the y - axis that is ( 0 , -3) .Hence h will be 0 and y = (-3) .

Now its given that the radius of the circle is 3. So on substituting r = 3 , in standard form we have ,

⇒ ( x -h )² + ( y - k )²= r²

⇒ ( x - 0)² + { y - (-3) }² = 3²

⇒ x² + ( y + 3) ² = 3²

⇒ x² + ( y + 3)² = 9

Hence the correct option is C [ x² + ( y+3)² = 9 ] .

Of the shirts produced by a company, 6.5% have loose threads, 9.5% have crooked stitching, and 3% have loose threads and crooked stitching. Find the probability that a randomly selected shirt has loose threads or has crooked stitching.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(L\ or\ C) = 0.13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent loose threads with L, Crooked stitching with C.

So, we have:

[tex]P(L) = 6.5\%[/tex]

[tex]P(C) = 9.5\%[/tex]

[tex]P(L\ and\ C) = 3\%[/tex]

Required

Calculate P(L or C)

In probability:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ and\ B)[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]P(L\ or\ C) = P(L) + P(C) - P(L\ and\ C)[/tex]

Substitute values for P(L), P(C) and P(L and C)

[tex]P(L\ or\ C) = 6.5\% + 9.5\% - 3\%[/tex]

[tex]P(L\ or\ C) = 13\%[/tex]

Convert to decimal

[tex]P(L\ or\ C) = 0.13[/tex]

Hence:

The required probability is 0.13

Steve determines that sides DK and BC are congruent. He also measures angle K and angle C and determines that

they are congruent. He concludes that the triangles are congruent by the SAS Congruence Theorem. Is Steve correct?

If he is incorrect, which congruence theorem should Steve use? Explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Two triangles are congruent when they have the same 3 sides and the same 3 angles.

One way to find if they are congruents is a theorem called "Side-Angle-Side" (SAS): if two sides and its included angle is equal to the other triangle's corresponding sides and angles, the triangles are congruent.

In the graph below, in triangle DEK, as Steve determined, side DK measures 12. In triangle ABC, side BC is also 12. The angles K and C are equals, so if sides EK and AC are congruent, SAS Congruent Theorem is correct.

To test it, find distances EK and AC, which is calculated as:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}-(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}[/tex]

EK is a distance between points E(-6,4) and K(0,-4)

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-6-0)^{2}-(4+4)^{2}}[/tex] = 10

AC is a distance between points A(3,6) and C(9,-2)

[tex]d=\sqrt{(3-9)^{2}-(6+2)^{2}}[/tex] = 10

EK and AC have the same distances between each point, i.e., segment EK measures the same as segment AC, 10 units.

Therefore, triangles DEK and BAC are congruent proven by SAS Congruence Theorem.

Assuming you're equipped with the error function,

by substituting x = √y, so that x ² = y and 2x dx = dy, we have

Based on a study by Dr. P. Sorita Soni at Indiana University, assume that eye colors in the United States are distributed as follows: 40% brown, 35% blue, 12% green, 7% gray, 6% hazel. If three people are randomly selected, what is the probability that one will have brown eyes, one will have gray eyes, and one will have green eyes (with replacement)

Answers

Answer

0.00336

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

P(Brown), P(Br) = 0.4

P(Blue) = P(b= 0.35

P(green,) = P(g) = 0.12

P(gray), P(Gr) = 0.07

If 3 individuals are selected, the probability that one has brown eye, 1 has Grey and one has green.

Since the probabilities are independent :

P(Br) * P(Gr) * P( g)

0.3 * 0.07 * 0.12

= 0.00336

A student was interested in studying the relationship between burping and eating at BCs. The hypothesis was that more expensive meals would correlate with more burping. They watched BCs patrons for two weeks and recorded the cost of meals and how often people burped while eating. In this experiment, the independent variable was _________, and they should present the data as a__________ .
a. Burping frequency,
b. Bar graph with error bars
c. Burping frequency
d. Scatter plot with a trendline

Answers

Answer:

Price of the meals

Scatter plot with a trendline

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the provided options are correct. The independent variable was Price of the meals, and they should present the data as a Scatter plot with a trendline. The Price of the meal is the independent variable because it does not depend on any other variable and is instead the cause of the burping frequency which would be the dependent variable in this scenario. The Scatter plot would allow you to mark each individual's burping frequency on the same prices for the meal, since you would most likely have more than one value of burping frequency for the same priced meal.

a. bethany made eight free throws for every 3 that she missed. Did bethany do better than richie? how do you know.

Answers

Answer:

Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Value

The average or mean value of m successes out of n tries is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{m}{n}[/tex]

During a practice session playing basketball, Richie made m=12 free throws from n=15 attempts. His average score was:

[tex]\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{12}{15}=0.8[/tex]

Bethany made 8 free throws for every 3 that she missed, this means she made 8 out of 11 attempts. Her average score was:

[tex]\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{8}{11}=0.72[/tex]

Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.

The person that did better is Richie. This is because the percentage of free throws made by Richie is higher than that of Bethany.

In order to determine who did better, the percentage of free throws made has to be determined.

The percentage of free throws made by Richie =( 12 / 15) x 100 = 80%

The  percentage of free throws made by Bethany = [(8-3) / 8] x 100 = 62.50%
