Carbon-14 is a radioactive element with a half-life of about

5,730 years. Carbon-14 is said to decay exponentially. The decay rate is 0.000121. We start with one gram of carbon-14.

We are interested in the time (years) it takes to decay carbon-14. What is being measured here?

The amount of time spouses shop for anniversary cards can be modeled by an exponential distribution with the average amount of time equal to eight minutes. Write the distribution, state the probability density function, and graph the distribution.

What is the area under f(x) if the function is a continuous probability density function?

Suppose the time it takes a student to finish a quiz is uniformly distributed between six and 15 minutes, inclusive. Let X=the time, in minutes, it takes a student to finish a quiz. Then X~U(6,15)Find the probability that a randomly selected student needs at least eight minutes to complete the quiz. Then find the probability that a different student needs at least eight minutes to finish the quiz given that she has already taken more than seven minutes.
