Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Cycles to failure Position in ascending order 0.5 f(x)) (x;) Problem 44 Marsha, a renowned cake scientist, is trying to determine how long different cakes can survive intense fork attacks before collapsing into crumbs. To simulate real-world cake consumption, she designs a test where cakes are subjected to repeated fork stabs and bites, mimicking the brutal reality of birthday parties. After rigorous testing, Marsha records 10 observations of how many stabs each cake endured before structural failure. Construct P-P plots for (a.) a normal distribution, (b.) a lognormal distribution, and (c.) a Weibull distribution (using the information included in the table below). Which distribution seems to be the best model for the cycles to failure for this material? Explain your answer in detail.

Problem 3 In their lab, engineer Daniel and Paulina are desperately trying to perfect time travel. But the problem is that their machine still struggles with power inconsistencies-sometimes generating too little energy, other times too much, causing unstable time jumps. To prevent catastrophic misjumps into the Jurassic era or the far future, they must calibrate the machine's power output. After extensive testing, they found that the time machine's power output follows a normal distribution, with an average energy level of 8.7 gigawatts and a standard deviation of 1.2 gigawatts. The Time Travel Safety Board has set strict guidelines: For a successful time jump, the machine's power must be between 8.5 and 9.5 gigawatts. What is the probability that a randomly selected time jump meets this precision requirement? Daniel suggests that adjusting the mean power output could improve time-travel accuracy. Can adjusting the mean reduce the number of dangerous misjumps? If yes, what should the…
