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 wood pole with a diameter of 10 in. has a moisture content of 5%. The fiber saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 30%. The w
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a) Δd(change in wood diameter) = 5%

b) The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

Explanation:

Wood pole diameter = 10 inches

moisture content = 5%

FSP = 30%

A) The percentage change in the wood's diameter

note : moisture fluctuations from 5% to 30% causes dimensional changes in the wood but above 30% up to 55% causes no change. hence this formula can be used to calculate percentage change in the wood's diameter

Δd/d = 1/5(30 - 5)

Δd/d = 5%  

Δd = 5%

B) would the wood swell or shrink

The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) The new diameter of the wood

D2 = D + D( \frac{M1}{100} )

D = initial diameter= 10 in , M1 = initial moisture content = 5%

therefore D2 = 10 + 10( 5/100 )

new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

. Chemical manufacturers must present which Information on the product's label?
STatiana [176]

Answer: A) Product identifier

Explanation:

A product identifier is a means, name or number used to identify hazardous and dangerous chemicals on a label or in the SDS( safety data sheet). It provides a special means which helps the user to identify the chemical. Any product identifier used should permit a cross-references to be made among the listed hazardous chemicals required in the written hazard communication program, and the label including SDS(safety data sheet).

The concentration of carbon monoxide (co) in an exhaust gas is 1x10^4 ppmv. what is the concentration in mg/m^3 at 25 and 1 atm
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.1451 x 104 (11451.13)mg/m3

Explanation:

1 ppmv is defined as one volume of a contaminant or solid(CO)(mL) in 1 x 106 volume of solvent/water.

1ppmv = 1mL/m3

Concentration in mg/m3 = volume in ppm x molecular weight x pressure(kPa)/( gas constant x temperature(K)

Molecular weight of CO = 12 + 16

= 28g/mol

Temperature = 273.15 + 25

= 298.15K

Pressure = 1 x 101.325kPa

= 101.325kPa

Ppmv = 1 x 10-4ppmv

Gas constant, R = 8.3144 L.kPa/mol.K

Concentration in mg/m3 = (1 x 104 * 28 * 101.325)/(8.3144 * 298)

= 1.1451 x 104mg/m3

= 11451.13 mg/m3
