A driver is traveling at 52 mi/h on a wet road. an object is spotted on the road 415 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to

a stop just before hitting the object. assuming standard perception/ reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

Answer:

G = 0.424

Explanation:

Ds = ( 0.278tr * V ) + (0.278 * V²)/ ( 19.6* ( f ± G))

Where Ds = stopping sight distance = 415miles = 126.5m

G = absolute grade road

V = velocity of vehicle = 52miles/hr

f = friction = 0 because the road is wet

tr = standard perception / reaction time = 2.5s

So therefore:

Substituting to get G

We have

2479.4G = 705.6G + 751.72

1773.8G = 751.72

G = 751.72/1773.8

G = 0.424

9) A construction company employs 2 sales engineers. Engineer 1 does the work in estimating cost for 70% of jobs bid by the comp
Irina18 [472]

The probability that the error occurred when Engineer 2 made the mistake is 0.462 on the other hand the probability that the error occurred when the engineer 1 made the mistake is 0.538

Explanation:

Let E_{1} denote the event that the 1st  engineer  does the work.so we write

P(E)_{1}=0.7

Let E_{2} denote the event that the 2nd engineer  does the work .So we write

P(E)_{2}=0.3

Let O denote the event during which the error occurred .so we write

P(O/E_{1} )=0.02(GIVEN)

P(O/E_{2} )=0.04(GIVEN)

  • The probability that the error occurred when the first engineer performed the work is P(E_{1} /O)
  • The probability that the error occurred when the first engineer performed the work is P(E_{2} /O)

Now we need to find when did the error in the work occur so we will compare the probability of the work done by <u>engineer 1 </u>and <u>engineer 2 </u>

<u></u>

<u>lets find the Probability of the Engineer 1</u>

<u>Using Bayes theorem,we get</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>P(E_{1} /O) =0.02*0.7/0.02*0.7+0.04*0.3 = 0.014/0.026=0.538

<u>lets find the Probability of the Engineer 2</u>

<u></u>P(E_{2} /O) =0.04*0.3/0.02*0.7+0.04*0.3=0.012/0.026=0.462

Since ,0.462<0.538 so it is more prominent that the Engineer 1 did the work when the error occurred

Nikolay [14]

Answer: Application.

Explanation:

The question on wether to contine the use of cadavers in the lab for test is being centered around its application.
