A certain radioactive isotope is a by-product of some nuclear reactors. Due to an explosion, a nuclear reactor experiences a massive leak of this radioactive isotope. Fortunately, the isotope has a very short half-ife of 7 days. Estimate the percentage of the original amount of the isotope released by the explosion that remains 5 days after the explosion. After 5 days, about % of the isotope remains. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Over the past 40 years, the percentage of homes in the United States with smoke detectors has risen steadily and has plateaued at about 96% as of 2015.† With this increase in the use of home smoke detectors, what has happened to the death rate from home fires? Suppose the following contains 17 years of data on the estimated percentage of homes with smoke detectors and the estimated home fire deaths per million of population. Percentage ofHomes withSmoke Detectors Home Fire Deathsper Millionof Population 0.52 22.8 0.69 20.7 0.76 17.2 0.78 20.4 0.79 19.3 0.84 18.8 0.83 17.5 0.87 16.1 0.88 13.5 0.90 14.3 0.92 14.2 0.94 12.9 0.95 10.8 0.96 10.8 0.97 10.1 0.96 8.3 0.96 8.0 (a) Do you expect a positive or negative relationship between smoke detector use and deaths from home fires? Why or why not? We would expect there would be a  ---Select--- negative positive relationship between smoke detector use and deaths from home fires. As more households have…

A business executive asks his administrative assistant to call three different travel agents and find out what price they can get on tickets from 5 different airlines to a specified destination.  Below is some partial information after analyzing the original price quotes. SS(airlines) = 7042.27; SS(total) = 7906.99.  Is there a difference in the average price of a ticket across the airlines? Use alpha = 0.05

Wall Street performs a sort of “financial alchemy” enabling the individual to benefit from institutions lending money to them, according to Adam Davidson, cofounder of NPR’s “Planet Money.” Individuals can invest small amounts of their money in a 401(k), pooling their capital and spreading the risk. Assume you invested in Fidelity New Millennium, FMILX, one of the “10 Best Rated Funds” by The Street. How much would you pay for 70 shares if the 52-week high is $34.57, the 52-week low is $28.90, and the NAV is $42.59? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Amount paid $ __________
