Given information
Use the following information to answer the next 
exercises. Carbo
is a radioactive element with a half-life of about 
years. Carbon-
is said to decay exponentially. The decay rate is 
We start with one gram of carbon
. We are interested in the time (years) it takes to decay carbon-.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Since the variable being measured is the time carbon takes to decay. Therefore, carbon- has a half life of about years. The random variable 
is the time in year’s carbon takes to decay.
Therefore, the random variable is the time in year’s carbon takes to decay.
