An engineer measures a sample of 1200 shafts out of a certain shipment. He finds the shafts have an average diameter of 2.45 inc

h and a standard deviation of 0.07 inch. Assume that the shaft diameter follows a Gaussian distribution. What percentage of the diameter of the total shipment of shafts will fall between 2.39inch and 2.60 inch?

Answer: 78.89%

Explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=  1200

Sample mean : \overline{x}=2.45

Standard deviation : \sigma=0.07

We assume that it follows Gaussian distribution (Normal distribution).

Let x be a random variable that represents the shaft diameter.

Using formula, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, the z-value corresponds to 2.39 will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.39-2.45}{0.07}\approx-0.86

z-value corresponds to 2.60 will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.60-2.45}{0.07}\approx2.14

Using the standard normal table for z, we have

P-value = P(-0.86

=P(z

Hence, the percentage of the diameter of the total shipment of shafts will fall between 2.39 inch and 2.60 inch = 78.89%

Two vertical, parallel clean glass plates are spaced a distance of 2mm apart. if the plates are placed in water, how high will t
Ulleksa [173]

Answer with Explanation:

The capillary rise in 2 parallel plates immersed in a liquid is given by the formula

h=\frac{2\sigma cos(\alpha )}{\rho gd}

where

\sigma is the surface tension of the liquid

\alpha is the contact angle of the liquid

\rho is density of liquid

'g' is acceleratioj due to gravity

'd' is seperation between thje plates

Part a) When the liquid is water:

For water and glass we have

\sigma =7.28\times 10^{-2}N/m

\alpha =0

\rho _{w}=1000kg/m^3

Applying the values we get

h=\frac{2\times 7.28\times 10^{-2}cos(0)}{1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=7.39mm

Part b) When the liquid is mercury:

For mercury and glass we have

\sigma =485.5\times 10^{-3}N/m

\alpha =138^o

\rho _{w}=13.6\times 10^{3}kg/m^3

Applying the values we get

h=\frac{2\times 485.5\times 10^{-3}cos(138)}{13.6\times 1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=-2.704mm

The negative sign indicates that there is depression in mercury in the tube.

Suppose you were doing an A* search and there were a number of different ways that you could compute an admissible heuristic val
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all,we need to know what kind of research and how important it is before determining which computation method to use .

Then compare end result of research and cost of  expensive methods .

Then we should opt for the best expensive method to be used for the given application.
