1.5% remains after 43.2 seconds.

The Symbol p that denotes sample proportion.
Half-life is 5.27 years; 21 / 5.27 = 3.99, or almos 4 half-lives; (1/2)4 = 1/16.
Statistically speaking, the mean is the most stable from sample to sample. Whereas, the mode is the least stable statistically speaking from sample to sample.
sample statistic
After 50 years, approximately 50% of tritium will remain undecayed in a sample. Tritium has a half-life of about 12.3 years, which means that the amount of undecayed tritium decreases by half every 12.3 years.
To determine the percentage of As-81 that remains undecayed after 43.2 seconds, you would need to know its half-life. As-81 has a half-life of approximately 46.2 seconds. Using the formula for radioactive decay, after one half-life (46.2 seconds), 50% would remain. Since 43.2 seconds is slightly less than one half-life, a little more than 50% of the sample remains undecayed, but the exact percentage requires calculations based on the exponential decay formula.

It tells what fraction of a radioactive sample remains after a certain length of time.
An eighth remains.
Nitrogen-16 has a half-life of about 7.13 seconds. After 36.0 seconds, there would be 3 half-lives. Therefore, 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 of the original sample remains unchanged.
1/8 of the original amount remains.
It is 1/8 .
One eighth remains.
The answer depends on 3240 WHAT: seconds, days, years?

After three half-lives, only 1/8 (or 12.5%) of the original radioactive sample remains. This is because each half-life reduces the amount of radioactive material by half, so after three half-lives, you would have (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 of the original sample remaining.
