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.

A straight line has the same gradient as y=3x+5 and it passes through the point (0,12).
Leokris [45]

Answer:

y = 3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 5 has slope 5.

We need the equation of a line with slope 5 that passes through point (0, 12).

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 12 = 3(x - 0)

y - 12 = 3x

y = 3x + 12

Simplify 0.95x-9-1/2x(36-18y)-0.25(-3x+4.8)
iris [78.8K]

Answer: 9xy−16.3x−10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+(−0.25)(−3x)+(−0.25)(4.8)

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+0.75x+−1.2

Combine Like Terms:

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+0.75x+−1.2

=(9xy)+(0.95x+−18x+0.75x)+(−9+−1.2)

=9xy+−16.3x+−10.2

Sav [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

When an opinion poll selects cell phone numbers at random to dial, the cell phone exchange is first selected and then random digits are added to form a complete telephone number. When using this procedure to generate random cell phone numbers, approximately 55%55% of the cell numbers generated correspond to working numbers. You watch a pollster dial 1515cell numbers that have been selected in this manner.What is the mean number of calls that reach a working cell number?A. 0.550.55B. 1515C. 8.258.25D. 3030
