Answer:
Failure Rate
Explanation:
Failure rate is the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed for example in failures per hour.
It is often denoted by the Greek letter λ (lambda) and is important in reliability theory.
Failure rate is usually time dependent, and an intuitive corollary is that the rate changes over time versus the expected life cycle of a system
Answer:
Gs = 2.647
e = 0.7986
Explanation:
We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as
where, = moist unit weight of the soil
Gs = specific gravity of the soil
S = degree of saturation
e = void ratio
= unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3
From data given we know that:
At 50% saturation,
puttng all value to get Gs value;
Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)
for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3
Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)
solving both equations (1) and (2), we obtained;
Gs = 2.647
e = 0.7986
Answer:
874 psi
Explanation:
Given a sample mean (x') = 900,
and a standard error (SE) = 10
At 99% confidence, Z(critical) = 2.58
That gives 99% confidence interval as,
x' ± Z(critical) x SE = 900 ± 2.58 x 10
The value of the lower limit is,
900 - 25.8 = 874.2
≈ 874 psi
