Answer:

If the load of magnitude 50 is hung from the cable, determine the probability of failure of the cable?

There is a 10.56% probability of failure of the cable.

If the load can take values 30, 50, and 70 with probabilities 0.2, 0.35, and 0.45 respectively, determine the probability of failure of the cable?

There is a 15.87% probability of failure of the cable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The breaking strength of a cable is assumed to be lognormally distributed with a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 20. This means that $\mu = 75, \sigma = 20$ .

If the load of magnitude 50 is hung from the cable, determine the probability of failure of the cable?

This is the pvalue of Z when $X = 50$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{50 - 75}{20}$

$Z = -1.25$

$Z = -1.25$ has a pvalue of 0.1056.

There is a 10.56% probability of failure of the cable.

If the load can take values 30, 50, and 70 with probabilities 0.2, 0.35, and 0.45 respectively, determine the probability of failure of the cable?

Now we have that

$X = 0.2(30) + 0.35(50) + 0.45(70) = 55$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{55 - 75}{20}$

$Z = -1$

$Z = -1$ has a pvalue of 0.1587.

There is a 15.87% probability of failure of the cable.

A stretched spring has a length of 12 inches when a weight of 2 lbs is attached to the spring. The same spring has a length of 1

Advocard [28]

The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
