An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and

171 lb. the new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 137 lb and a standard deviation of 27.7 lb.
A.) if a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 150 lb and 201 lb.
The probability is approximately__________. (round to four decimal place as needed.)
B.) If 39 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 150 lb and 201 lb.
The probability is approximately__________. (round to four decimal place as needed.)
C) When redesigning the ejection seat which probability is more relevant

Answer:

hi the figures for the weight of the pilots under consideration is wrong the correct weights are 150 lb and 201 lb

  • 0.0665
  • 0.0106
  • part A

Explanation:

A) probability that a pilot's weight is between 150 lb and 201 lb

i.e P( p 150 ≤ x ≤ p 201 )

p ( 150 ) = \frac{150 - mean}{standard deviation} = \frac{150 - 137}{27.7}  = 0.4693

p ( 201 ) = \frac{201 - mean}{standard deviation} = \frac{201 - 137}{27.7} = 2.3104

P ( p(150) ≤ x ≤ p(201) ) = (2.3104 - 04693) /  standard deviation

                                     = 1.8411 / 27.7 = 0.0665

B) probability if 39 different pilots are selected randomly and their mean weight is between 150 lb and 201 lb

i.e P( p(150) ≤ x ≤ p(201) )

p ( 150 ) = \frac{150 - mean }{standard deviation * \sqrt{39} }  = \frac{13}{27.7* \sqrt{39} } =  \frac{13}{172.9864} = 0.0752

p ( 201 ) = \frac{201-137}{standard deviation * \sqrt{39} } = \frac{64}{172.9864} = 0.3700

P ( p(150) ≤ x ≤ p(201) ) = (0.3700 - 0.0752) / 27.7 = 0.0106

part A is considered because an infinite number of pilots are considered

Answer:

A.) 0.3088

B.) 0.0017

C.) part A

Explanation:

A.)

z1= \frac{\left(150-137\right)}{27.7}=0.4693

z2=\frac{\left(201-137\right)}{27.7}=2.3105

P(0.4693

B.)

z1=\frac{150-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}} =2.9309\\z2=\frac{201-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}}=14.4289

\\P(2.9309

C.) Since the seat performance for an individual pilot is more important than 39 different pilots.

How does a belt operated supercharger work? (Not a turbo charger)
icang [17]

Answer:

A root-type supercharger works similar to that of an air pump. It pumps air into the intake of the engine. Within the engine cylinder, the compression of the air-fuel mixture takes place. A centrifugal supercharger, works like a turbo, compresses the air in it and then delivers it to the engine.

An empty metal can is heated to 908C and sealed. It is then placed in a room to cool to 208C. What is the pressure inside the ca
Natali5045456 [20]

The pressure inside the can upon cooling is 0.4 atm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Initial Temperature, T1 = 908°C = 908 + 273 K = 1181 K

Final Temperature, T2 = 208°C = 208 + 273 K = 481 K

Pressure upon cooling, P2 = ?

Using Gay Lussac's law:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

P2 = P1 X T2 / T1

P2 = 1 atm X 481 / 1181

P2 = 0.4 atm

Therefore, the pressure inside the can upon cooling is 0.4 atm.

Write a Nested While Loop that will increment the '*' from 1 to 10.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The program is as follows:

i = 1

while(i<11):

   j = 1

   while(j<=i):

       print('*', end = '')

       j += 1

   i += 1

   print()

Explanation:

Initialize i to 1

i = 1

The outer loop is repeated as long as i is less than 11

while(i<11):

Initialize j to 1

   j = 1

The inner loop is repeated as long as j is less than or equal i

   while(j<=i):

This prints a *

       print('*', end = '')

This increments j and ends the inner loop

       j += 1

This increments i

   i += 1

This prints a blank and ends the inner loop

   print()
