The lifetime (in hours) of a 60-watt light bulb is a random variable that has a Normal distribution with σ = 30 hours. A random

sample of 25 bulbs put on test produced a sample mean lifetime of = 1038 hours. If in the study of the lifetime of 60-watt light bulbs it was desired to have a margin of error no larger than 6 hours with 99% confidence, how many randomly selected 60-watt light bulbs should be tested to achieve this result?

Answer:

They must have about 166 randomly 60 watt light bulbs to achieve the result

N = 166

Explanation:

σ = 30

% 99 = 2.576

Using the standard equation of statistics knowing the difference between the measurement have a margin error no larger than 6 can solve

σ = √∑ ( x - z' )²  / N

Solve to N

N = ( % * σ  / Δ x  ) ²

N = ( 2.576 * 30 / 6 )²

N = 12.88 ²

N = 165. 89 44 ≅ 166

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

A segull flying horizontally at 15m/s drops a clam. The clam takes 3.0sec to hit the ground. How high was the seagull when the c
lora16 [44]

The distance a dropped object falls, with gravity and no air resistance:

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Without air resistance, the horizontal motion has no effect on the fall.

Acceleration of Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Distance = (1/2) (9.81 m/s²) (3.0 s)²

Distance = (0.5) x (9.81 m/s²) x (9.0 s²)

Distance = (0.5 x 9.81 x 9.0) (m-s² / s²)

Distance = 44.15 meters

We don't care how fast the bird was flying horizontally.  It doesn't change anything.  (It DOES determine how far ahead of the drop point the clam hits the ground.  Most problems like this ask for that distance.  This one didn't.)

What does the octect rule state that explains why atoms bond ?
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms naturally bond with each other in an attempt to have 8 or zero valence electrons. This occurs in salts, covalent bonds, and mettalic bonds. This is how the octet rule demonstrates why atoms bond.

Hope this helps!
