Question

I want to check my results, also to check if the equations that I used were the right ones 

6) Below are Rb-Sr data for two different granitic plutons from Massachusetts. The Hoppin Hill
Granite is located near Attleboro, Massachusetts and the Quincy Granite and it's closely
related Blue Hills Granite Porphyry are located in Quincy and Milton, Massachusetts. Using
the Rb-Sr isotope data calculate the age (in million years, Ma) and the error on the age of the
Hoppin Hill Granite and the Quincy Granite. Consider the Quincy Granite and the Blue Hills
Granite Porphyry to be part of the same igneous suite, and thus contemporaneous. [25 points]
