A civil engineer is studying a left-turn lane that is long enough to hold seven cars. Let X be the number of cars in the line at
the end of a randomly chosen red light. The engineer believes that the probability that X = x is proportional to (x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, . . . , 7 (the possible values of X), i.e. P(X = x) = ( C(x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, 1, . . . , 7 0 otherwise 1. Determine the value of C. 2. Find the probability that X will be at least 5.

Answer:
a. ε₁=-0.000317
ε₂=0.000017
θ₁= -13.28° and θ₂=76.72°
b. maximum in-plane shear strain =3.335 *10^-4
Associated average normal strain ε(avg) =150 *10^-6
θ = 31.71 or -58.29
Explanation:
ε₁=-0.000317
ε₂=0.000017
To determine the orientation of ε₁ and ε₂
θ= -13.28° and 76.72°
To determine the direction of ε₁ and ε₂
=-0.000284 -0.0000335 = -0.000317 =ε₁
Therefore θ₁= -13.28° and θ₂=76.72°
b. maximum in-plane shear strain
=3.335 *10^-4
ε(avg) =150 *10^-6
orientation of γmax
θ = 31.71 or -58.29
To determine the direction of γmax
= 1.67 *10^-4
