A) Neutron activation analysis for a sample of a rock revealed the presence of 5926Fe ,which has a half-life of 46.3 days . Assuming the isotope was freshly separated from its decay products, what is the mass of 5926Fe in a sample emitting 1.00 mCi of radiation?

B) BNCT relies on the initial targeting of tumor cells by an appropriate chemical compound tagged with 10  5B, which preferentially concentrates in tumor cells. During the irradiation of the tumor site by neutrons (10n) the 10  5Babsorbs a low-energy neutron (10n), and it ejects an energetic short-range alpha particle(42α or 42He) and lithium ion along with gamma radiation (γ). This radiation deposits most of its energy within the cell containing the original 10  5B atom. Therefore, if a higher concentration of 10  5Bexists in tumor cells relative to other normal tissues, a concomitantly higher dose will be delivered to the tumor cells during neutron irradiation.

What is the nuclear reaction that takes place in the tumor cell?

A sample of 800 computer chips revealed that 75% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature claimed that more than 72% do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to support the company's claim? Step 1 of 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
