Exponential growth Flashcards
what does 5% relationship mean
its significant
p value
chance that something will happen by random, significance of relationship
example of 0.05 and 0.3
5%, 30%
co-correlation
when two factors move in same direction (both increase)
are all things correlated
no
dating sediment layers
use radioactive isotopes, sediments release radon gas, older the sediment means more lead 210
radioactive decay equation
c(1)= c x EXP x (-AT)
C(1)
concentration
c
original concentration
EXP
on calculator
T
time
-A
decay constant -0.693
half life
1 half life- 2 times less, 2 half life- 4 times less, 3 half life- 8 times less
work out rate
divide by years, other way without rate is to multiple half life by number of years
exponential growth
small changes make a big change, large increase on graph
