Chapter 6.1, Problem 34E
Emergency Room Traffic. Desert Samaritan Hospital in Mesa, Arizona, keeps records of its emergency-room traffic. Beginning at 6:00 P.M. on any given day, the elapsed time, in hours, until the first patient arrives is a variable with density curve y = 6.9e−6.9x for x > 0, and y = 0 otherwise. Here e is Euler’s number, which is approximately 2.71828. Most calculators have an e-key. Using calculus, it can be shown that the area under this density curve to the left of any number x greater than 0 equals 1 − e−6.9x.
- a. Graph the density curve of this variable.
- b. What percentage of the time does the first patient arrive between 6:15 P.M. and 6:30 P.M.?

Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain". The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 00 to 14.14. Distilled water has pH 7.0,7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.5.0. The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.435.43 and standard deviation 0.54.deviation 0.54.
What proportion of rainy days have rainfall with pH below 5.0?5.0?
In thermodynamics,
the Van der Waal's equation relates the mean pressure, p, of a substance
to its molar volume v at some temperature T as follows:
Chemists are interested in the curves, called isotherms, described by this equation when the
temperature is held fixed, and R is a constant. What is the value of
