question 8
Two construction companies are bidding against one another for the right to construct a new community center building. The first construction company, Fine Line Homes, believes that its competitor, Buffalo Valley Construction, will place a bid for this project according to the distribution shown in this table: Buffalo Valley's Bid Bid Probability $160,000 0.2 $165,000 0.5 $170,000 0.2 $175,000 0.1 Furthermore, Fine Line Homes estimates that it will cost $160,000 for its own company to construct this building. Given its fine reputation and long-standing service within the local community, Fine Line Homes believes that it will likely be awarded the project in the event that it and Buffalo Valley Construction submit exactly the same bids. Find the bid that maximizes Fine Line’s expected profit. Max expected profit $ ________ . Bid that maximizes profit $ ________ .
Find the area of the surface obtained by rotating the circle x² + y² = r² about the line y = r.

Once the sensor or thermometer is brought into contact with the medium, the sensor quickly receives (or loses, if warmer) heat and reaches thermal equilibrium with the medium. At that point the medium and the sensor are at the same temperature. The time required for thermal equilibrium to be established can vary from a fraction of a second to several minutes. Due to its small size and high conductivity it can be assumed that the sensor is at a uniform temperature at all times, and Newton's cooling law is applicable. Thermocouples are commonly used to measure the temperature of gas streams. The characteristics of the thermocouple junction and the gas stream are such that λ = hA/mc 0.02s-1.

Assume that the air resistance FD acting on the body is proportional to the velocity V, so that FD=kV. Taking g = 9.75 m/s2 and k/m = 5 s, determine: a) what height the body will reach at the top of the tower, b) how long it will take the body to touch the ground, and c) the velocity of the body when it touches the ground.arrow_forwardA chemical reaction involving the interaction of two substances A and B to form a new compound X is called a second order reaction. In such cases it is observed that the rate of reaction (or the rate at which the new compound is formed) is proportional to the product of the remaining amounts of the two original substances. If a molecule of A and a molecule of B combine to form a molecule of X (i.e., the reaction equation is A + B ⮕ X), then the differential equation describing this specific reaction can be expressed as: dx/dt = k(a-x)(b-x) where k is a positive constant, a and b are the initial concentrations of the reactants A and B, respectively, and x(t) is the concentration of the new compound at any time t. Assuming that no amount of compound X is present at the start, obtain a relationship for x(t). What happens when t ⮕∞?arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
