Answer:
The statement can be written as
int result = cube(4);
Explanation:
A function is a block of reusable codes to perform some tasks. For example, the function in the question is to calculate the cube of a number.
A function can also operate on one or more input value (argument) and return a result. The <em>cube </em>function in the question accept one input value through its parameter <em>number </em>and the <em>number</em> will be multiplied by itself twice and return the result.
To call a function, just simply write the function name followed with parenthesis (e.g. <em>cube()</em>). Within the parenthesis, we can include zero or one or more than one values as argument(s) (e.g. <em>cube(4)</em>).
We can then use the "=" operator to assign the return output of the function to a variable (e.g. <em>int result = cube(4)</em>)

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".
The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution".
Part a
Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that 
And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:
In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:
Part b
Assuming that 
, then the density function is given by:
And for this case we want this probability:
And evaluating the integral we got:

Explanation:
Solution:-
- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.
- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.
- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.
- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.
- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:
U ∝ v^( 0.8 ) .... ( turbulence )
- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.
Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).
