A sensor is used to monitor the performance of a nuclear reactor. The sensor accu-rately reflects the state of the reactor with

a probability of .97. But with a probabilityof .02, it gives a false alarm (by reporting excessive radiation even though the reac-tor is performing normally), and with a probability of .01, it misses excessive radia-tion (by failing to report excessive radiation even though the reactor is performing abnormally). (a) What is the probability that a sensor will give an incorrect report, that is, either a false alarm or a miss?

Answer:

The probability of an incorrect report is found to be 0.03 or 3%.

Explanation:

We will get an incorrect report in both the cases of false alarm or missing excessive radiation. Since, both are mutually exclusive events. Therefore, the probability of both events to occur simultaneously will be 0. Thus, the probability of an incorrect report will be the sum of the probability of false alarm and the probability of a missing radiation.

P (False Alarm) = 0.02

P (Missing Radiation) = 0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = P (False Alarm) + P(Missing Radiation)

P (Incorrect Report) = 0.02 +0.01

P(Incorrect Report) = 0.03 = 3%

What is the voltage of the electrochemical cell written as: Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more questions.  
<span><span>The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is  </span>B.-2.71 V.</span>  
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- -> Mg(s) E=-2.37 V  

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- -> Cu(s) E =+ 0.34 V  

Since Cu is acting as the anode, the equation needs to be reversed.  

Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) + 2e- E =- 0.34 V  

Ecell= -2.37 V+ (- 0.34 V) = -2.71 V   <span><span>

The transfer of thermal energy is a major aspect of which branch of physics?
scZoUnD [109]
Mechanics is dealing with forces that are effecting some body, electrostatics is about electrical fields of not moving bodies, and quantum mechanics is dealing with quantum states of atoms. 

Thermodynamics as the word say, is dealing with thermal energy that is moving (transferring from one body to another or even better from one medium to another).

Answer is C <span />

Cat walks 100 m  East, then turns around and walks 25 m west. What is the cats displacement?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

<h3>75m</h3>

Explanation:

If a cat walk 100m East, this means that it is walking in the positive x direction, the distance will therefore be +100m

If it turns around and walks 25 m west, the direction of movement is in the negative x direction i.e -25m

Taking the sum;

Displacement = +100m - 25m

Displacement of the cat = 75m

hence the cats displacement is 75m

The earth’s orbit is oval in shape . Explain how the magnitude of gravitational force between earth and sun changes as earth mov
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The gravitational force does change believe it or not, but the explaination for this is because the earths orbit is an oval (or a not circle) the closer it nears its self to the sun. the suns gravitational pull, pulls the earth to it bringing it closer and as it reaches the other side lets call this L when it reaches L it becomes the same gravitational pull reset as P is and another section over the sun lets call this M and when it reaches M its the same pull as Q, you get it now?
