An archeologist finds a skull in Piltdown Park in England. He discovers that only 3% of the original amount of carbon-14 is still present in the skull. If the decay constant for carbon-14 is 19×10^−5 , estimate the age of the skull. 1. age skull ≈ 18100 years 2. age skull ≈ 18300 years 3. age skull ≈ 18200 years 4. age skull ≈ 18400 years 5. age skull ≈ 18600 years
