Sam commutes to work by bus. He has to make two transfers. Historically, he has to wait more than five minutes for the first transfer 10% of the time. If he has to wait more than five minutes for the first transfer, he has to wait more than five minutes for the second transfer 30% of the time. If he does not have to wait more than five minutes for the first transfer, then he has to wait more tha five minutes for the second transfer 40% of the time. Are the events, wait more than five minutes for the first transfer and wait more than five minutes for the second transfer, independent? a) No. Since the probability of waiting more than five minutes for the second transfer is different depending on whether Sam waits more than five minutes for the first transfer, these events are not independent events.
b) No. Since the probability of waiting more than five minutes for the second transfer is the same regardless of whether Sam waits more than five minutes for the first transfer, these events are not independent.
c) Yes. Since the probability of waiting more than five minutes for the second transfer is different depending on whether Sam waits more than five minutes for the first transfer, these events are independent events.
d) Yes. Since the probability of waiting more than five minutes for the second transfer is the same regardless of whether Sam waits more than five minutes for the first transfer, these events are independent events

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60
