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

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force FFF between two particles with charges QQQ and Q′Q′Q^\prime separated by a distance
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges of q₁ and q₂ at distance d is given by the expression

F = k q₁ q₂ / d₂

Here force between charge q₁ = - 15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = (1.66 - 1.24 ) = .42 mm

k = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²  x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x  - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N .

force between charge q₂ =  34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = ( 1.24 - 0 ) = 1.24 mm .

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²  x  34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x  - 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 82729.6  x 10⁻³ N

Both these forces will act in the same direction towards the left (away from the origin towards - ve x axis)

Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³

= 118.7 N.

This equation shows the reaction that occurs when calcium carbonate
yarga [219]

Answer:

a. endothermic

Explanation:

The reaction shown is an endothermic reaction. In such reaction, they require an input of energy.

  • Endothermic changes involves absorption of heat from the surrounding.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction.
  • When heat is on the reactant side, it suggests a reaction that requires a considerable input of energy.
