500 flights land each day at San Jose’s airport. Assume that each flight has a 5% chance of being late, independently of whether

any other flights are late. Using Excel, calculate the probability of the following events. Turn in your spreadsheet. (a) 15 or fewer flights are late. (b) 30 or more flights are late. (c) Exactly 26 flights are late. (d) Between 10 and 20 flights are late. (e) Does our assumption of independence seem reasonable to you? Why or why not?

Answer:

a.0.0199

b.0.1765

c.0.0785

d.0.1268

e.Yes

Explanation:

It is given that X follows a Binomial distribution with (n= 500, p = 0.05)

The probabilities are computed using the EXCEL .

a) The required probability here is:

P(X less of equal to 15)

= binom.dist(15,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.0199

Therefore the probability is 0.0199 .

b) The required probability here is:

P(X greater or equal to 30) = 1 - P(X less or equal to 29)

=1 - binom.dist(29,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1765

Therefore the probability is 0.1765

c) P(X = 26 )

= binom.dist(26,500,0.05,FALSE)

=0.0785

Therefore the probability is 0.0785

d) The required probability here is computed as:

P(10 less or equal to X less or equal to 20 ) = P(X less or equal to 19) - P(X less or equal to 10)

= binom.dist(19,500,0.05,TRUE) - binom.dist(10,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1268

Therefore the probability 0.1268

e) Yes . Therefore the probability because that is the assumption used to apply binomial distribution .

A hydrauliic jack is rated at 5000 pound capacity. The area of the large piston on the jack is 4.45 Square inches. Calculate the

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

Explanation:

Fluid pressure is the ratio of force or weight applied by the fluid per unit area.

i.e Fluid pressure = $\frac{weight}{area}$

The maximum load of the jack is obtained at its maximum capacity = 5000 pounds

Area of the large piston on the jack = 4.45 square inches

Thus,

Fluid pressure = $\frac{5000}{4.45}$

= 1123.5955

Fluid pressure = 1123.6 pounds/ square inch

Thu, the fluid pressure in the jack at maximum load is 1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

Write the heat equation for each of the following cases:

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) the steady-state, 1-D incompressible and no energy generation equation can be expressed as follows:

$\dfrac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2}= \ 0 \ ; \ if \ T = f(x) \\ \\ \dfrac{\partial^2T}{\partial y^2}= \ 0 \ ; \ if \ T = f(y) \\ \\ \dfrac{\partial^2T}{\partial z^2}= \ 0 \ ; \ if \ T = f(z)$

b) For a transient, 1-D, constant with energy generation

suppose T = f(x)

Then; the equation can be expressed as:

$\dfrac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2} + \dfrac{Q_g}{k} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha} \dfrac{dT}{dC}$

where;

$Q_g$ = heat generated per unit volume

$\alpha$ = Thermal diffusivity

c) The heat equation for a cylinder steady-state with 2-D constant and no compressible energy generation is:

$\dfrac{1}{r}\times \dfrac{\partial}{\partial r }( r* \dfrac{\partial \ T }{\partial \ r}) + \dfrac{\partial^2 T}{\partial z^2 }= 0$

where;

The radial directional term = $\dfrac{1}{r}\times \dfrac{\partial}{\partial r }( r* \dfrac{\partial \ T }{\partial \ r})$ and the axial directional term is $\dfrac{\partial^2 T}{\partial z^2 }$

d) The heat equation for a wire going through a furnace is:

$\dfrac{\partial ^2 T}{\partial z^2} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha}\Big [\dfrac{\partial ^2 T}{\partial ^2 t}+ V_z \dfrac{\partial ^2T}{\partial ^2z} \Big ]$

since;

the steady-state is zero, Then:

$\dfrac{\partial ^2 T}{\partial z^2} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha}\Big [ V_z \dfrac{\partial ^2T}{\partial ^2z} \Big ]$ '

e) The heat equation for a sphere that is transient, 1-D, and incompressible with energy generation is:

$\dfrac{1}{r} \times \dfrac{\partial}{\partial r} \Big ( r^2 \times \dfrac{\partial T}{\partial r} \Big ) + \dfrac{Q_q}{K} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha}\times \dfrac{\partial T}{\partial t}$
