The CaCO3 was removed by filtration and fried. A 788-mg sample of the CaCO3 had a radioactivity of 1.5 X 10^-2 Bq due to carbon-14. By comparison, living organisms undergo 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Using the half-life of carbon-14, 5715 yr, calculate the age of the charcoal sample.
