Answer:

Compare and contrast a meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite. A meteoroid is a small solid particle that travels through space, if they burn up in earth's atmosphere they are called meteor. A meteoroid that actually reaches Earth's surface is called a meteorite.

Answer: When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = temperature increase.

The random variable X follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of X is:

$f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

$P(20$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

$P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467$
