The weight of a radioactive isotope was 96 grams at the start of an experiment. after one hour, the weight of the isotope was half of its initial weight. after two hours, the weight of the isotope was half of its weight the previous hour. if this pattern continues, which of the following graphs represents the weight of the radioactive isotope over time? a. graph w b. graph x c. graph y d. graph z

The mass of a marine organism, in pounds, p years after it is born is given by the polynomial function r(p) = -4p2 + 300p. find the mass when p = 20 years.

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
