Question: Given that Nitrogen - 1 6 ( 7 1 6 N ) has a decay constant lambda = 0 . 0 9 7 2

Given that Nitrogen-16(716N) has a decay constant \lambda =0.0972sec, what fraction of a sample of 716N will remain after 15 seconds? e-\lambda t=e-0.097215=0.233=23.3% What fraction will have decayed? 1-e-\lambda t=1-0.233=76.7%
