A highway reconstruction project is being undertaken to reduce crash rates. The reconstruction involves a major realignment of t

he highway such that a 60mph design speed is attained. At one point on the highway, a 720-ft equal tangent crest vertical curve exists. Measurements show that 3 40 stations from the PVC, the vertical curve offset is 3.5ft. Assess the adequacy of this existing curve in light of the reconstruction design speed of 60mph and, if the existing curve is inadequate, compute a satisfactory curve length.

PythonA group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functionsthat compute the median and mode of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  1. def median(l):
  2.    if(len(l) == 0):
  3.       return 0
  4.    else:
  5.        l.sort()
  6.        if(len(l)%2 == 0):
  7.            index = int(len(l)/2)
  8.            mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
  9.        else:
  10.            mid = l[len(l)//2]  
  11.        return mid  
  12. def mode(l):
  13.    if(len(l)==0):
  14.        return 0
  15.    mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
  16.    return mode  
  17. def mean(l):
  18.    if(len(l)==0):
  19.        return 0
  20.    sum = 0
  21.    for x in l:
  22.        sum += x
  23.    mean = sum / len(l)
  24.    return mean
  25. lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
  26. print(mean(lst))
  27. print(median(lst))
  28. print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function,  after checking the length of list,  we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría
liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es 0.820196

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

X: '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante (p=0.85) y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a X como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

X ~ Bi(n,p) en donde ''n'' es el número de personas entrevistadas y ''p'' es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.

Utilizando los datos ⇒ X ~ Bi(10,0.85)

La función de probabilidad de la variable aleatoria binomial es :

p_{X}(x)=P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&x\end{array}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}    con x=0,1,2,...,n

Si reemplazamos los datos de la pregunta en la función de probabilidad obtenemos :

P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}10&x\end{array}\right)(0.85)^{x}(0.15)^{10-x} con x=0,1,2,...,10

Nos piden la probabilidad de que por lo menos 8 personas adquieran el nuevo producto, esto es :

P(X\geq 8)=P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)

Calculando P(X=8), P(X=9) y P(X=10) por separado y sumando, obtenemos que P(X\geq 8)=0.820196
