After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant at Chernobyl (Ukraine) in 1986, the hay in Austria was contaminated by iodine 131 (half-life 8 days). If it is safe to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay?

Answers

Answer 1

Given the data provided, it follows that the farmers must wait for 26 days before feeding the hay to cows.

What is half life?

The term half life is defined as the time taken for half of the original amount of the radioactive sample to remain.

Now we know that;

half life = 8 days

Original amount = No

Amount left after t days = 0.1No

time taken = t days

Hence;

0.693/8 = 2.303/t log (No/0.1No)

0.087 = 2.303/t

t = 2.303/0.087

t = 26 days

Suppose a professional baseball player hit 55 home runs his first season, 58 his second,
and 69 his third. How many home runs would he need to hit in the current season so that
his average for the 4 years is no less than 59?

Answers

Answer:

About 54

Step-by-step explanation:

To work backwards from average, you need to multiply the average by the total number of cases, which is 4, since there are 3 current cases/seasons and you want the 4th.

59 * 4 =  236

You then subtract the total home runs that you know of from 236.

236 - 55 - 58 - 69 = 54

To find average, you are adding to the total and then dividing by the number of groups, which is essentially mean (mean is basically the average).

In an accelerated failure test, components are operated under extreme conditions so that a substantial number will fail in a rather short time. In such a test involving two types of microchips, 580 chips manufactured by an existing process were tested, and 125 of them failed. Then, 780 chips manufactured by a new process were tested, and 130 of them failed. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of failures for chips manufactured by the two processes. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.) The 90% confidence interval is

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before finding the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Old process:

125 out of 580, so:

[tex]p_O = \frac{125}{580} = 0.2155[/tex]

[tex]s_O = \sqrt{\frac{0.2155*0.7845}{580}} = 0.0171[/tex]

New process:

130 out of 780. So

[tex]p_N = \frac{130}{780} = 0.1667[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \sqrt{\frac{0.1667*0.8333}{780}} = 0.0133[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_O - p_N = 0.2155 - 0.1667 = 0.0488[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_O^2+s_N^2} = \sqrt{0.0171^2 + 0.0133^2} = 0.0217[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.0488 - 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0131[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.0488 + 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0845[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

Let r represent the lower interest rate. Then r+0.02 is the higher rate, and the total interest earned is ...

2. What amount of money must Kurt Blixen invest at 4.75% to have it earn $10,000 in 90 days?

Answers

Kurt Blixen must invest $85,2296.94.

Given the following data;

Interest rate = 4.75%Simple interest = $10,000Time = 90 days

To find how much money Kurt Blixen must invest;

Mathematically, simple interest is given by the formula;

[tex]S.I = \frac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

Where:

S.I is the simple interest.P is the principal amount.R is the interest rate.T is the time measured in years.

First of all, we would convert the time in days to years.

Conversion:

365 days = 1 year

90 days = x year

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex]365 * x = 90\\\\x = \frac{90}{365}[/tex]

x = 0.247 year

Making P the subject of formula;

[tex]P = \frac{S.I(100)}{RT}[/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex]P = \frac{10000(100)}{4.75*0.247}\\\\P = \frac{1000000}{1.1733}[/tex]

P = $85,2296.94

Therefore, Kurt Blixen must invest $85,2296.94.

Give a vector parametric equation for the line through the point (−2,−4,0) that is parallel to the line ⟨−2−3t,1−4t,−5t⟩:

Answers

The tangent vector for the given line is

T(t) = d/dt ⟨-2 - 3t, 1 - 4t, -5t⟩ = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩

On its own, this vector points to a single point in space, (-3, -4, -5).

Multiply this vector by some scalar t to get a whole set of vectors, essentially stretching or contracting the vector ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩. This set is a line through the origin.

Now translate this set of vectors by adding to it the vector ⟨-2, -4, 0⟩, which correspond to the given point.

Then the equation for this new line is simply

L(t) = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩t + ⟨-2, -4, 0⟩ = ⟨-2 - 3t, -4 - 4t, -5t

The vector parametric equation for the line through the point is [tex]r = (-2, \ -4, \ 0) +(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex].

Give a vector parametric equation for the line through the point (−2,−4,0) that is parallel to the line ⟨−2−3t,1−4t,−5t⟩.

What is a parametric equation vector?

Parametric equations of the line segment are defined by its endpoints.

To find the vector equation of the line segment, we’ll convert its endpoints to their vector equivalents.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same direction, and in the parametric form, the direction of a line is always the vector of constants that multiply t (or the parameter).

The vector equation of a line is given by:

[tex]\rm v = r_0+tv[/tex]

Where v is the direction vector and [tex]\rm r_0[/tex] is a point of the line.

The tangent vector for the given line is

T(t) = d/dt ⟨-2 - 3t, 1 - 4t, -5t⟩ = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩

Here,

[tex]\rm r_0 = (-2,-4,0) \ and \ v=(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex]

Then,

[tex]r = (-2, \ -4, \ 0) +(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex]

Does it make sense to represent the relationship between the amount saved and the number of months with one constant rate? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Answers

Jane is given a $100 gift to start and saves $35 a month from her allowance.

   After 1 month, Jane has saved

   After 2 months, Jane has saved

   After three months, Jane has saved

   and so on

In general, after x months Jane has saved

This means that it makes sense to represent the relationship between the amount saved and the number of months with one constant rate (in this case the constant rate is 35). It makes sense because the amount of money increases by $35 each month. Since the amount of increase is constant, we get constant rate. Also the initial amount is known ($100), so there is a possibility to write the equation of linear function representing this situation.
