(a). A Geiger counter registers a count rate of 4,400 counts per minute from a sample of a radioisotope. Fourteen minutes later, the count rate is 1,100 per minute. What is the half-life of the radioisotope? (3.0 points). (b) (i) I‑131 has a half‑life of 8.0 days. A laboratory prepares a sample with an initial activity of 32 mCi. Calculate the activity of the sample after 16 days. (3.0 points) (ii). If the recommended amount for use for a particular patient is 15 mCi but due to insurance approval issues the procedure was delayed for 24 days, can the initially prepared 32 mCi of I-131 be used? Justify your answer with numbers and explanation. (3.5 points)

Given the following piece of code, determine whether we can parallelize this loop or not. If yes, justify your answer. If not, rewrite the code in a way that makes it completely/partially parallel for ( int i = 0 ; i < 100 ; i++){ a [i] = a [i] + b [i]; c [i] = a[i+1] + c [i]; }
