At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t

hat is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10 to 25 degree C. (a) What is the probability that the temperature increase will be (1) less than 20 degrees C? (2) between 20 and 22C?(b) Suppose that a temperature increase of more than 18 degrees C is considered to be potentially harmful to the environment. What is the probability, at any point of time, that the temperature increase is potentially dangerous? (c) what is the expected value of the temperature increase?

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

P(20

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

two wheels are rolled simultaneously. The radius of the smaller wheel is r feet and the radius of the larger wheel 2r feet. If b
Nuetrik [128]
The circumference of a circle is C=2πR, where R is the radius of the circle and π≈3.14.

So if we open the circumference of the circle into a straight line segment, the length of this segment is C=2πR≈2*3.14*R=6.28R

4 rotations mean 4 circumferences that is 4 segments of length 6.28R, 
which makes a linear distance of 4*6.28R=25.12R


i: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=r, thus it covers a distance of 25.12r feet

ii: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=2r, thus it covers a distance of  25.12*2r=50.24r (feet)

50.24r is twice 25.12r, thus the larger wheel traveled Twice the distance of the smaller one.


Answer: the larger covered twice the distance of the smaller.

What is the length of AA' , rounded to the nearest hundredth? Type a numerical answer is the space provided. Do not type spaces
inna [77]
Coordinate of A are (0,0)
Coordinates of A' are (5,2)

We can find the distance from A to A' using the distance formula:

AA'= \sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+ (2-0)^{2}  } \\  \\ &#10;AA'= \sqrt{25+4} \\  \\ &#10;AA'= \sqrt{29} \\  \\ &#10;AA'=5.39

Thus, rounded to nearest hundredth, AA' is equal to 5.39
