Answer: (a) The angle the ramp forms with the driveway, s° = 4.004° (3 d.p)

(b) The driveway has to be, s = 28.57 ft

(c) The ramp will be 28.64 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

First key thing to know is that the %grade of a ramp = rise/ramp run

%grade of a ramp = 7% = 0.07

(Kindly find attached a diagram to assist with understanding).

Also note that, <em>the ramp run is not the same as the ramp length</em>

(a) the angle, θ, is the angle of slope between the driveway and the ramp,

tan θ = 0.07,

θ = tan⁻¹ 0.07 = 4.004° (3 d.p)

(b) the length of the driveway (s) is the same as the length of the ramp run, so, %grade of a ramp = rise/ramp run

0.07 = 2/s

s = 2/0.07 = 28.57 ft (2 d.p)

(c) the length of the ramp can be found by using Pythagoras' theorem,

L = ramp length =\sqrt{rise^{2} + ramprun^{2} }

L = \sqrt{2^{2} +28.571^{2} }

L = \sqrt{820.3041}

L = 28.64 ft (2 d.p)

Answer: a) 22.94 psi

               b) 5.93 X 10 --5

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The pressure at which will trigger a warning is

31 - 31*0.26 = 22.94 psi

b) The probability that that the TPMS will trigger warning at 22.94 psi, given that tire pressure has a normal distribution with average of 31 psi and standard deviation of 2 psi

where x = 22.94,
