Answer:

A gland is an organ which produces and releases substances that perform a specific function in the body. There are two types of gland. Endocrine glands are ductless glands and release the substances that they make (hormones) directlyinto the bloodstream.

Suppose that the time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with λ

Reptile [31]

Answer:

1. 0.0498

2. 0.8775

Explanation:

Let X represent the time of failures (in hours) of PC fans

From the question, X is exponentially distributed with the parameter λ = 0.0003

Also, it's to be noted that X is a continuous random variable

The probability distribution function of X is f(x) = λe^-(λx) for x >= 0

To solve this, we need to get the CDF (cumulative distribution function) of the above PDF

CDF

The CDF is simply the integration (integral calculus) of the PDF

Let F(x) represent the CDF

1. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours

F(x) = 1 - e^-(λx) for x>=0

For x = at least 10000 hours and λ = 0.0003 -------- The keyword here is at least

Because P(True) + P(False) = 1 ----------- (Probability of true + Probability of false = 1),

We have

F(x>= 10000) = 1 - F(x<= 10000) -------- Notice the change in the inequality sign

This then equates to

F(x>=10000) = 1 - (1 - e^-(λx)) ---------- Open the bracket

F(x>=10000) = 1 - 1 + e^-(λx)

F(x>=10000) = e^-(λx)

F(x>=10000) = e^-(0.0003 * 10000)

F(x>=10000) = e^-(3)

F(x>=10000) = 0.049787068367863

F(x>=10000) = 0.0498 ---------- Approximated

2. What is the proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours

X = at most 7000 and λ = 0.0003

The keyword here is at most, so we make use of

F(x) = 1 - e^-(λx) for x>=0

F(x<=7000) = 1 - e^-(λx)

F(x<=7000) = 1 - e^-(0.0003 * 7000)

F(x<=7000) = 1 - e^-(2.1)

F(x<=7000) = 1 - 0.122456428252981

F(x<=7000) = 0.877543571747018

F(x<=7000) = 0.8775 ---------- Approximated

Is boiling a pot of water an example of Thermodynamics?

garri49 [273]

Answer: I think I have the answer to your problem!!

A pot of boiling water is a nice everyday example to explain internal energy, heat, and work. However, it's not a good choice for applying the first law of thermodynamics, because the boiling pot isn't a closed system.

What is the formula that describes the magnitude of impulse on an object?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)
