Researchers are trying to use radiocarbon dating to determine when the wooden buildings at an archaeological site were constructed. They know that trees in the area would have been cut down for the construction, and that when the trees died, they would have a ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 of about one part per trillion (1 ppt). The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5,730 years, and they discover the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 to be about 0.125 parts per trillion (ppt). What is the age of the buildings at the site? * 716.25 years

5,730 years

17,190 years

0.125 billion years

Explain the difference between each pair of concepts. a. frequency and relative frequency b. percentage and relative frequency a. select the correct choice below. a. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. b. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a value to the total number of observations. c. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times a particular distinct value occurs to the frequency. d. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of two different values.
