Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95​% of all males.​ (Accommodating 100

% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.2 in. and a standard deviation of 0.9 in. Find Upper P 95. That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 95​% from the largest 5​%.

Answer:

The answer is 15.68 in

Explanation:

X~N(μ=14.2; σ=0.9)

P(X\leq a)=0.95

I want to find "a", so:

P(0\leq X\leq a)=P(\frac{0-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma}), Z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Z~N(0; 1)

P(0\leq X\leq a)=P(\frac{0-14.2}{0.9} \leq Z}\leq \frac{a-14.2}{0.9})=\phi(\frac{a-14.2}{0.9})-\phi(-15.78)=0.95

Φ(-15.78)≅0

\phi(\frac{a-14.2}{0.9})=0.95

Based on the Standard Normal table

\phi(Z_{a} )=0.95 if Z_{a}=1.64485

(a-14.2)/0.9=1.64485, then a=15.68

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz

Vector A⃗ points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B⃗ has a magnitude of 15 km and points in the p
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

magnitude of A − B =  15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a  magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = \sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}

|A - B| = \sqrt{250}

|A - B| = 15.81 km

If your brakes give out, why can't you just pull the keys out of the ignition?
Pachacha [2.7K]

There should be a small amount of play in the wheel when the steering is locked. Gently pull the key from the ignition while you slowly jiggle the steering wheel back and forth. If this is the cause of the problem, the key should come out after a little effort.

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?
Alex Ar [27]
Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.
