Which statement about the half-life of a radioactive sample is true?

Half-life describes how likely a radioisotope is to decay over time, measured as the time it takes for half of a large sample’s radioactive atoms to decay. It does not predict exactly when an individual atom will decay, and it is not affected by the sample’s concentration. Neutron number alone does not calculate a half-life.
