A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

is approximately normal with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 3 ounces. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the southern region is approximately normal with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 2.5 ounces. (a) Calculate the z -scores for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the northern region and for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the southern region.

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z=\frac{13-10}{3}

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.

A section of a parallel-plate air waveguide with a plate separation of 7.11 mm is constructed to be used at 15 GHz as an evanesc
adell [148]

Answer:

the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

f_{c_1 = c / 2a

where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s

plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm

so we substitute

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711  )

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422  cm

f_{c_1 =  21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }

Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required

Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz

so

Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;

∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( (f_{c_1 / f)² - 1 )

so we substitute

∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )

∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷

∝₁ = 310.79 np/m

Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;

20log₁₀e^{-\alpha _1l_{min = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min = -100dB

l_{min = 3.71 cm

Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm
