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.

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of
lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 150 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas  = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas   = v L

V_2 = final volume of gas  = \frac{v}{3}L

150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}  

P_2=450kPa

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

t = 2244.3 sec

Explanation:

calculate the thermal diffusivity

\alpha = \frac{k}{\rho c}

           = \frac{50}{7800\times 480} = 1.34 \times 10^{-5} m^2/s

                   

Temperature at 28 mm distance after t time  = =  50 degree C

we know that

\frac[ T_{28} - T_s}{T_i -T_s} = erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{at}})

\frac{ 50 -25}{300-25} = erf [\frac{28\times 10^{-3}}{2\sqrt{1.34\times 10^{-5}\times t}}]

0.909 = erf{\frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}}

from gaussian error function table , similarity variable w calculated as

erf w = 0.909

it is lie between erf w = 0.9008  and erf w = 0.11246 so by interpolation we have

w = 0.08073

erf 0.08073 = erf[\frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}]

0.08073 = \frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}

solving fot t we get

t = 2244.3 sec
