A type of light bulb is labeled having an average lifetime of 1000 hours. It’s reasonable to model the probability of failure of

these bulbs by an exponential density function with mean µ = 1000. Use this model to find the probability that a bulb fails within the first 300 hours.

Answer:

0.2592 \ or \ 25.92\%

Explanation:

The exponential density function is given as

f(t)=\left \{ {{0} \atop {ce^{ct}}} \right\\0,t

\mu=\frac{1}{c}\\c=\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\=\frac{1}{1000}=0.001\\\\f(t)=0.001e^{-0.001t}

To find probability that bulb fails with the first 300hrs, we integrate from o to 300:

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=\int\limits^{300}_0 {f(t)} \, dt\\\\=\int\limits^{300}_0 {0.001e^{-001t}} \, dt\\ =|-e^{-0.001t}|  \ 0\leq t\leq 300

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=-0.7408+1\\=0.2592

Hence probability of bulb failing within 300hrs is 25.92% or 0.2592

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]

Explanation:

We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.

W = F * d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.

F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]

W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]

Why does immersion oil improve resolution?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

d. It increases numerical aperture and maintains a uniform light speed.

Explanation:

In optical microscopes, various immersion mediums are used to improve or enhance the resolution. Immersion oils like cedar and Leica oils are one of those mediums which are used to improve resolution by increasing the numerical aperture and keeping the speed of light uniform.
