Archaeologists used pieces of burned wood, or charcoal, found at the site to date prehistoric paintings and drawings on walls and ceilings of a cave in Lascaux, France. Use the information in Example 3 of Section 3.1 to determine the appropriate age of a piece of burned wood, if it was found that 88% of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed. (Round your answer to the nearest hundred years.) years
Answer:
The age of the wood is [tex] t = 17527.5 \ years [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that 88% of of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed , this means that the proportion of C-14 that is remaining is mathematically evaluated as
[tex] 1 - 0.88 = 0.12[/tex]
Hence
[tex] N = 0.12N_o[/tex]
Here N represents the remaining C-14 while [tex]N_o[/tex] is the original amount of C-14
Generally the half life of C-14 is [tex]h = 5730 \ years[/tex]
Generally from the formula of radioactive decay
[tex]N = N_o * 2^{-\frac{t}{h} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.12N_o = N_o * 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.12 = 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
taking the natural log of both sides
=> [tex] ln [0.12] = ln[ 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }][/tex]
=> [tex] ln [0.12] = -\frac{t}{5730}ln(2) [/tex]
=> [tex] t = 17527.5 \ years [/tex]
The appropriate age of burned wood will be "17527.5 years".
Radioactive decayAccording to the question,
The proportion of C-14 = 1 - 0.88
= 0.12
then,
N = 0.12 N₀
Now,
The half-life of C-14 will be:
h = 5730 years
By using Radioactive decay formula, we get
→ N = N₀ × [tex](2)^{-\frac{t}{h} }[/tex]
By substituting the values,
0.12N₀ = N₀ × [tex](2)^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
0.12 = [tex]2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
By taking "log" both sides,
ln[0.12] = ln[[tex]2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]]
ln[0.12] = -[tex]\frac{t}{5730 \ ln(2)}[/tex]
hence,
The age will be:
t = 17527.5 years
Thus the above response is correct.

Consider the function below. Find f(x) = 7
f(x) = 4x - 9
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
it tel you that f(x) = 7 so replace "f(x)" for 7 in the equation. You then get 7 = 4x - 9 so now you solve for x. You have to isolate x so you add 9 to the other side since you do the opposite of -9. Once you add 9 and 7, then divide the answer by 4. You should get 4 = x.
Work:
f(x) = 4x - 9
7 = 4x - 9
7 + 9 = 4x
16 = 4x
16 ÷ 4 = x
4 = x
A survey of 800 school employees yielded the following information: 430 were instructors, 589 were full-time faculty, and 340 of the instructors were full-time faculty. How many school employees were full-time faculty but were not instructors
Answer:
249Step-by-step explanation:
let n(U) be the total number of school employees = 800
Let n(I) be amount of instructors = 430
Let (F) be full-time faculty = 589
Let n(InF) be the instructors who were full-time faculty = 340
The number of employees who were full-time faculty but were not instructors is expressed as:
n(FnI') = n(F) - n(InF)
n(FnI') = 589 - 340
n(FnI') = 249
Hence the number of school employees who were full-time faculty but were not instructors are 249

Use integers to represent the values in the statement. The highest elevation in a country is Mt. Snowy with an altitude of 17,311 feet. The lowest elevation in the country is Green Valley with an altitude of 237 feet below sea level.
Answer:
A)+17311 represent the value in the statement.
B)-237 represent the value in the statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The highest elevation in a country is Mt. Snowy with an altitude of 17,311 feet.
Elevation is in the positive direction
So, the positive integer will represent the given situation
So, The highest elevation in a country is Mt. Snowy with an altitude of +17311
Thus +17311 represent the value in the statement.
B)The lowest elevation in the country is Green Valley with an altitude of 237 feet below sea level.
Below the sea level means negative direction
So, the negative integer will represent the given situation
So, The lowest elevation in the country is Green Valley with an altitude of - 237 feet below sea level.
Thus -237 represent the value in the statement.

A coin is tossed and -sided die numbered 1 through is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a and then rolling a number greater than .
Complete question :
A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a tail and then rolling a number greater than 2.
Answer : 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For a coin :
Sample space = (T, H)
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Probability of tail, p(T) = 1 / 2 = 0.5
For a fair die:
Sample space = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Required outcome = number greater than 2 = (3, 4, 5, 6) = 4
P(number greater than 2) = 4/6 = 2/ 3
Hence, probability of a tail, then a number greater than 2 :
(1/2 * 2/3) = 2 /6 = 1/3

Rectangles P, Q, R, and S are scaled copies of one another. For each pair, decide if the scale factor from one to the other is greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1.
The image showing the complete question is attached.
Answer:
1) Scale factor = 2
2) Scale factor = 4
3) Scale factor = ½
4) Scale factor = 2
5) Scale factor = 1
6) Scale factor = ¼
7) Scale factor = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor is a number by which the dimensions of an object are multiplied in order to create an enlarged or reduced object.
Now, from the image attached;
1) From P to Q, we see that the length of Q seems to be double that of P. Similarly, the width of Q seems to be double that of P. Thus, each dimension of P is said to be multiplied by 2 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of Q.
Thus, scale factor = 2
2) From P to R, we see that the length of R seems to be 4 times that of P. Similarly, the width of R seems to be 4 times that of P. Thus, each dimension of P is said to be multiplied by 4 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of R.
Thus, scale factor = 4
3) From Q to S, we see that the length of S seems to be half of that of Q. Similarly, the width of S seems to be half of Q. Thus, each dimension of Q is said to be multiplied by ½ to achieve the reduced dimensions of S.
Thus, scale factor = ½
4) From Q to R, we see that the length of R seems to be double that of Q. Similarly, the width of R seems to be double that of Q. Thus, each dimension of Q is said to be multiplied by 2 to achieve the enlarged dimensions of R.
Thus, scale factor = 2
5) From S to P, we can see that the dimensions of both rectangles remain the same. Thus, S was multiplied by a factor of 1 to get P. Scale factor = 1
6) From R to P, we see that the length of P seems to be a quarter that of R. Similarly, the width of P seems to be quarter of R. Thus, each dimension of R is said to be multiplied by ¼ to achieve the reduced dimensions of P.
Thus, scale factor = ¼
7) From P to S, we can see that the dimensions of both rectangles remain the same. Thus, P was multiplied by a factor of 1 to get S. Scale factor = 1
An electronic store sold 6% of the cell phones that were on sale. If only 21 cell phones were sold,
how many cell phones were not sold? Write an equation to solve.

OD. X-(21 -0.06) = 21; x = 21+ (21 -0.06); x =
There were
cell phones not sold.
(Type a whole number.)
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of phones that were on sale, given that 6% of the cell phones that were on sale, therefore:
number of cell phones sold = 6% of x = 0.06 × x = 0.06x
21 phones were sold, hence:
0.06x = 21
x = 21/0.06
x = 350 phones
This means that 350 cell phones were on sale.
Number of cell phones not sold = total number of cell phones that were on sale - number of cell phones sold
Number of cell phones not sold = 350 - 21
Number of cell phones not sold = 329

Scientists want to estimate the mean weight of mice after they have been fed a
special diet. From previous studies, it is known that the weight is normally
distributed with standard deviation 4 grams. How many mice must be weighed so
that a 95% confidence interval will have margin of error of 0.4 grams?
Write only an integer as your answer.
Answer:
n = 484
Step-by-step explanation:
If Confidence Interval CI = 95 % then α = 5% and α/2 = 2,5 %
α/2 = 0,0125
MOE for normal distribution is:
MOE = z * σ/√n
For α/2 = 0,0125 ⇒ z(score) = -2,2
MOE = |-2,2| * 4/√n
0,4*√n = 8,8
√n = 8,8 / 0,4
√n = 22
n = 484
