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.

By the end of the round 3 of the handshaking activity in the Epidemiology Lab, eight people are infected (of the twenty four peo
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

d. (16/24) * 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

The infection rate =( Number of infected people/ total number of people) *  100%

After the end of round 3

Infection rate = (8/24)*100%

After the end of round 4, since no one is infected more than once

Infection rate = 2* (8/24)*100%

Infection rate = (16/24) * 100%

Solve this identity, where the angles involved are acute angles.
Bas_tet [7]

We have proven that the trigonometric identity [(tan θ)/(1 - cot θ)] + [(cot θ)/(1 - tan θ)] equals 1 + (secθ * cosec θ)

<h3>How to solve Trigonometric Identities?</h3>

We want to prove the trigonometric identity;

[(tan θ)/(1 - cot θ)] + [(cot θ)/(1 - tan θ)] = 1 + sec θ

The left hand side can be expressed as;

[(tan θ)/(1 - (1/tan θ)] + [(1/tan θ)/(1 - tan θ)]

⇒ [tan²θ/(tanθ - 1)] - [1/(tan θ(tanθ - 1)]

Taking the LCM and multiplying gives;

(tan³θ - 1)/(tanθ(tanθ - 1))

This can also be expressed as;

(tan³θ - 1³)/(tanθ(tanθ - 1))

By expansion of algebra this gives;

[(tanθ - 1)(tan²θ + tanθ.1 + 1²)]/[tanθ(tanθ(tanθ - 1))]

Solving Further gives;

(sec²θ + tanθ)/tanθ

⇒ sec²θ * cotθ + 1

⇒ (1/cos²θ * cos θ/sin θ) + 1

⇒ (1/cos θ * 1/sin θ) + 1

⇒ 1 + (secθ * cosec θ)

What is the simplified value of the exponential expression 27 1/3?<br> 1/3<br> 1/9<br> 3<br> 9
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

27^1/3

27 is cube root of 3

so it can also be written as (3)^3

∴ {(3)^3}^1/3

3 and 3 will get cancelled

so it will be 3^1

= 3
