Question

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model. A sample of this radioactive substance has an initial mass of 3643 k
and decreases continuously at a relative rate of 15% per day. Find the mass of the sample after four days.
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

The number of days that elapse between the beginning of a calendar year and the moment a high-risk driver is involved in an accident is exponentially distributed. Based on historical data, an insurance company expects that 30% of high-risk drivers will be involved in an accident during the first 50 days of the calendar year. In a group of 100 high-risk drivers, how many do you expect to be involved in an accident during the first 80 days of the calendar year?
