xbar = 190cm, s = 5cm. Calculated confidence interval for the mean is [188.29; 191.71].
Which confidence level was chosen? Assume distribution to be normal.
A. 99%
B. 90%
C. 95%
D. 99.9%

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]

If \bar{x} is 190, we can find the value of z\sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 1.71

Now we need to find the value of \sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Exit temperature = 32 °C

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Pressure;P1 = 100 KPa

Cp =1000 J/kg.K = 1 KJ/kg.k

R = 500 J/kg.K = 0.5 Kj/Kg.k

Initial temperature;T1 = 27°C = 273 + 27K = 300 K

volume flow rate;V' = 15 m³/s

W = 130 Kw

Q = 80 Kw

Using ideal gas equation,

PV' = m'RT

Where m' is mass flow rate.

Thus;making m' the subject, we have;

m' = PV'/RT

So at inlet,

m' = P1•V1'/(R•T1)

m' = (100 × 15)/(0.5 × 300)

m' = 10 kg/s

From steady flow energy equation, we know that;

m'•h1 + Q = m'h2 + W

Dividing through by m', we have;

h1 + Q/m' = h2 + W/m'

h = Cp•T

Thus,

Cp•T1 + Q/m' = Cp•T2 + W/m'

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1*300) - (80/10) = (1*T2) - (130/10)

Q and M negative because heat is being lost.

300 - 8 + 13 = T2

T2 = 305 K = 305 - 273 °C = 32 °C

13000 + 300 - 8000 = T2

How do you determine when a truss will fail?<br> (Yield Stress)
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

If a truss buckles or overturns, it is usually because of the failure of an adjacent truss or its bracing. A steel truss in a fire may buckle and overturn because of expansion or weakening from the heat. Most truss failures are the result of broken connections. Photo 1 shows a set of parallel-chord wood trusses supporting a plywood floor deck.
