Answer:

Explanation:

Before the Rutherford's model of the atom, the plum pudding model proposed by J.J Thomson through his experiment using the gas discharge tube was the prevalent structure of the atom known.

Through Thomson, it was widely and popularly believed that the atom is made up of a pool of negatively charged particles.

When Rutherford performed the Alpha scattering experiment using a thing gold foil, he observed that all the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil and just a few of them were deflected back.

To explain this, the suggested the atomic or nuclear model of that atom in which an atom has a small positively charged center called nucleus where all the mass is concentrated.

Today, the suggestion that an atom is made up of nucleus is highly relevant and still consistent.

A computer technician always touches the metal body of a computer before touching any of its electrical parts. why?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Computer technician always touch the metal body parts of the computer before touch any electrical part of the computer because it will neutralized the body static charge.

The components of the computer are made up of the materials with the positive and negative charge electron and their electric effect basically neutralized the one another.

while touching any electrical hardware make sure that the electricity is off and discharge our body from any static charge. Also avoid wearing wool clothes when touching any electrical hardware parts as they also build static charge.

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is
Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative             Precipitation                                

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100                       100                    300

Expand           350                       500                   200

Build new       750                       300                    0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are  for

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100*0.3                100*0.2                   300*0.5 = 140

Expand           350*0.3                500*0.2                  200*0.5 = 305

Build new       750*0.3                300*0.2                  0*0.5    = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min
Vaselesa [24]
The average speed will be:
Total distance travelled divided by time taken
Total distance (in metres)= 80+125+45=250
Total time (minutes) =10
250/10
=25
Thus Mary's average speed is 25 metres per minute.
