Chapter 3.3, Problem 39E
The results of a national survey showed that on average, adults sleep 6.9 hours per night. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.2 hours.
- a. Use Chebyshev’s theorem to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 4.5 and 9.3 hours.
- b. Use Chebyshev’s theorem to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 3.9 and 9.9 hours.
- c. Assume that the number of hours of sleep follows a bell-shaped distribution. Use the
empirical rule to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 4.5 and 9.3 hours per day. How does this result compare to the value that you obtained using Chebyshev’s theorem in part (a)?

Discrete math
Suppose vehicle arrive at a signalised road intersection at an average rate of 360 per hour and the cycle of the traffic lights is 40 seconds . In what percentage of cycle will the number of vehicles arriving be :
a. exactly 5
b. less than 5

Water flow at a water treatment plant is often in the units of gallons per day. However, in pipe flows, we often need to express water flow in feet per second. Convert 17,200 gallons per day to feet per second.
Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth feet/second (i.e., 0.0000).
Q1/The pressure drop in pascals (Pa) for a fluid flowing in a pipe with a sudden decrease in diameter
can be determined based on the loss of head equation given below:
h = 24-11

Where: V₂ is the velocity in position 2 (m/s), g: is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s², A₁ and
A₂ are the cross-sectional areas of the tube in position 1 and 2 respectively.
A==d²
Where: d is the diameter (m). Write a program in a script file that calculates the head loss. When the
script file is executed, it requests the user to input the velocity (V₂) in m/s and values of diameters
(d, and d₂). The program displays the inputted value of v followed by a table with the values of
diameters in the first and second columns and the corresponding values of h, in the third column.
