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%

Which statement defines an ore? Rock broken down to become part of the topsoil. Rock dug out from the earth to use in constructi
Anika [276]

Rock dug out from the deep inside earth and refined.

Explanation:

Ores are usually rocks dug out from deep within the earth and refined.

An ore is an aggregate of metalliferous minerals with gangue that can be won at profit under current economic conditions.

Ores are rocks and rocks can be ores if they contain viable economic minerals.

They are usually naturally formed and they contain different minerals.

For example cassiterite is a known ore of tin.

A guitar string is 90 cm long and has a mass of 3.7 g . The distance from the bridge to the support post is L=62cm, and the stri
zvonat [6]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of frequency in a string from the nodes, the tension, the linear density and the length of the string, that is,

f = \frac{n}{2L}(\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}})

Here

n = Number of node

T = Tension

\mu = Linear density

L = Length

Replacing the values in the frequency and value of n is one for fundamental overtone

f = \frac{n}{2L}(\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}})

f = \frac{1}{2(62*10^{-2})}(\sqrt{\frac{500}{(\frac{3.7*10^{-3}}{90*10^{-2}})}})

\mathbf{f = 281.2Hz}

Similarly plug in 2 for n for first overtone and determine the value of frequency

f = \frac{n}{2L}(\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}})

f = \frac{2}{2(62*10^{-2})}(\sqrt{\frac{500}{(\frac{3.7*10^{-3}}{90*10^{-2}})}})

\mathbf{f = 562.4Hz}

Similarly plug in 3 for n for first overtone and determine the value of frequency

f = \frac{n}{2L}(\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}})

f = \frac{3}{2(62*10^{-2})}\bigg (\sqrt{\frac{500}{(\frac{3.7*10^{-3}}{90*10^{-2}})}} \bigg)

\mathbf{f= 843.7Hz}

Explain how a theodolite works.
Oksana_A [137]
The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.
