How long does it take for 90% of a sample of the simulated isotope to decay (i.e., for the remaining activity to drop to 10% of its initial value)?
Independent variable: time
Dependent variable: fraction (or percent) of nuclei remaining/decayed
Controls: initial number of atoms, temperature and simulation decay constant/settings
