1. The first year you obtain your Professional Engineer seal, you design and observe construction of small dams, each of which i

s in a different area of the country. Each of these dams is designed to pass the 200-year storm without overtopping, since they are relatively small and no loss of life or damage to property is likely if they do fail. After that first year, you never design another dam for the rest of your career since you move into management. a. What is the probability that the very first dam you designed will overtop during your anticipated 45-year career

Answer:

The probability that the very first dam you designed will overtop during your anticipated 45-year career is 0.7985.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is related to the reliability function.

The reliability of the dam built follows an Exponential distribution with mean time between failure as 200 years.

Then the parameter of the exponential distribution will be:

\lambda=\frac{1}{200}=0.005

The reliability function for the time in which the dam will overtop is given by:

R(t)=e^{-\lambda t}

Compute the probability that the very first dam you designed will overtop during your anticipated 45-year career as follows:

  R(t)=e^{-\lambda t}

R(45)=e^{-0.005\times 45}

         =e^{-0.225}\\=0.7985

Thus, the probability that the very first dam you designed will overtop during your anticipated 45-year career is 0.7985.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

(4 + 5i)(2 - 7i) = 8 - 28i + 10i + 35

= 43 - 18i

4 + 5i(2 - 7i) = 4 + 10i + 35

= 39 + 10i

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with Italian dressing, The Italian dressing contains 8% Vinegar,
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  • 15 mL of 100% vinegar
  • 45 mL of Italian dressing

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v represent the amount of 100% vinegar to be included in the mixture. Then the amount of vinegar in the overall mixture is ...

  1.00v + 0.08(60 -v) = 0.31(60)

  0.92v = 60(0.23) . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract .08(60)

  v = 60(0.23/0.92) = 15 . . . mL of vinegar

  60 -v = 45 . . . mL of dressing

15 mL of vinegar and 45 mL of Italian dressing should be used.

Jack is drawing circles on a playground for a game. If he draws a circle with a radius 3 feet, what is the area of the circle, t
aev [14]

Answer:

28.2743 square feet (28 square feet, rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the equation

Area = πr^2

Plug in 3 for the radius

Area= π(3)^2

3 squared is 9

Area= 9 π

Area= 28.2743 square feet

Rounded to the nearest square foot, the area of the circle is 28 square feet.
