The Bulldog Electronics Company is currently producing a submarine detector for the Navy. The detector will be powered by one of three uranium fuel cells. The fuel cells are activated sequentially, as needed. The procedure is the following. When the detector is installed at the bottom of the ocean, one fuel cell is activated. When that fuel cell stops working, a second cell is automatically activated. When it stops working, the third cell is automatically activated. The time to failure of each cell has a normal distribution with a mean of 400~hours and a standard deviation of 100~hours. Also, the time to failure of an individual cell is independent of the time to failure of any other cell. 1.iiFind the particular value b such that the probability that a cell lasts longer than b~hours is 0.9. a) Partial b) -1.29 c) 1.29 d) 136 e) 272 f) 528 g) Other _____

The human nervous system is extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. Stimuli that remain the same do not demand the same amount of attention as those that are new. You are a human factors psychologist working for a large automobile manufacturer. You have been assigned the task of determining what type of hot-engine warning system will be used on the next generation of small pickup trucks. The designers have given you three alternative systems: (a) a traditional temperature gauge that reads cold to the left, normal in the middle, and hot to the right; (b) a hot- engine warning light that flashes when the engine is about to overheat; and (c) a temperature gauge similar to (a), except that the entire gauge flashes on and off when the engine is about to overheat. You decide to test these three designs by having three separate groups of participants use the various warning systems in a driving simulator. The independent variable in this experiment is the type of warning system,…
Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the followinng table: length weight 1616 47.0 48.7 1862 2855 55.7 45.2 1199 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish. (Assume the correlation conditions have been satisfied and round your…

A building contains 1000 lightbulbs. Each bulb lasts at most five months. The company maintaining the building is trying to decide whether it is worthwhile to practice a “group replacement” policy. Under a group replacement policy, all bulbs are replaced every T months (where T is to be determined). Also, bulbs are replaced when they burn out. Assume that it costs $0.05 to replace each bulb during a group replacement and $0.20 to replace each burned-out bulb if it is replaced individually. How would you use simulation to determine whether a group replacement policy is worthwhile?
A student received an A- in Engineering Math (3 credits), a B+ in introduction to PDT ( 3 credits), an B in Client server ( 3 credits), and a A in Technical writing ( 2 credits). Assuming that, A = 4 grade points, A- = 3.7 grade points, B+ = 3.3 grade points, B = 3 grade %3D %3D points, B- = 2.7 grade points, and C+ = 2.3 grade point, C = 2 %3D grade points and C- = 1.7 grade points. Find the student's grade point average (GPA)? [2 decimal place calculation] O a. 7.37 b. 3.37 О с. 3.73 d. None of the option is correct
Frogs have been breeding like flies at the Enormous State University (ESU) campus! Each year, the pledge class of the Epsilon Delta fraternity is instructed to tag all the frogs residing on the ESU campus. Two years ago (t = 0) they managed to tag all 42,000 of them (with little Epsilon Delta Fraternity tags). This year's pledge class discovered that all the tags had fallen off, and they wound up tagging a total of 63,000 frogs. (a) Find an exponential model for the frog population. f(t) = (b) Assuming exponential population growth, and that all this year's tags have fallen off, how many tags should Epsilon Delta order for next year's pledge class? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) tags
Freddy is the owner of Freddy’s fast fuel for Small Aircraft specializing in “Providing flight fit fantastic fuel” for small general aviation aircraft such as a Cessna 172. Freddy is experimenting with a fueling process involving new equipment and is trying to determine if the current process takes more time than the new process with the new equipment he is experimenting with. If the current process takes more time than the new process, Freddy will purchase some new, rather expensive fueling equipment to use across several small general aviation airports his company services. Freddy is comparing sample mean times to evaluate his hypothesis about the population (total number of aircraft fuel fill-ups). Over the period of a week, he took a random sample of fuel fill-up times using both the old and new processes. Using the information Freddy provided, you ran a t-test for independent samples. These are the results (α = .05). t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variance Current…
A researcher is interested in the effects of diazepam on anxiety in rats. She takes a group of 15 female rats and injects them with 0.005 mg of diazepam for every 100 g the rats weigh, and takes a different group of female rats and injects them with saline. She then puts them all on an elevated-plus maze for 15 minutes and observes how long they spend (in seconds) in the enclosed arms versus the open arms. The less time they spend in the enclosed arms means they have less anxiety. She also weighs them before the injection to make sure she gets the dosage correct. a. Identify the population of interest b. Identify the Independent variable. c. Identify the Dependent variable. d. What scale of measurement was used for the independent variable? Explain why you think so. e. Was the independent variable discrete or continuous? Explain why you think so. f. What scale of measurement was used for the dependent variable? Explain why you think so. g. How could you change the dependent measurement…

To determine if chocolate milk was as effective as other carbohydrate replacement drinks, nine male cyclists performed an intense workout followed by a drink and a rest period. At the end of the rest period, each cyclist performed an endurance trial where he exercised until exhausted and time to exhaustion was measured. Each cyclist completed the entire regimen on two different days. On one day the drink provided was chocolate milk and on the other day the drink provided was a carbohydrate replacement drink. Data consistent with summary quantities appear in the table below. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Subtract the carbohydrate replacement times from the chocolate milk times. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and the P-value to three decimal places.) t= 1.93 df= 8 p=? Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the mean time to exhaustion is greater after chocolate milk than after…
A poultry raiser harvests an average of 300 eggs per day. He has recently experimented with different types of poultry feeds. As a result, he noticed some fluctuations in the number of eggs laid by the chickens, which is neither clearly higher nor lower than previous weeks. He decides to find out if there might be a significant change in the number of eggs laid by the chickens. He records his harvest of eggs for 20 days. He finds that the average per day is 290 eggs with a standard deviation of 15. At 5% Level of Significance, what did the poultry raiser concludes?
