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

Answer: 65.25 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy K.E. = 1/2 * m * v^2 ; where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body ; K.E. = 1/2 * 0.145 * 30 * 30 = 65.25 Joules

An ideal gas occupies 0.4 m3 at an absolute pressure of 500 kPa. What is the absolute pressure if the volume changes to 0.9 m3 a
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<h2>2.22 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{0.4 \times 500000}{0.9}   =  \frac{200000}{0.9} \\  = 222222.2222... \\  = 222222

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.22 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you

An occupant of a car can survive a crash if the deceleration during the crash is less than 30 g. Calculate the force on a 64 kg
forsale [732]
The force on a 64 k person decelerating on that rate would be : 

F = ma

F = 64 kg x 30 x 9.8

= 18816 N
