1. In the test-firing of a missile, there are some events that are known to cause the missile to fail to reach its target. These events are listed below, together with their approximate probabilities of occurrence during a flight: Event Probability (A1) Cloud reflection (A2) Precipitation (A3) Target evasion (A4) Electronic countermeasure 0.0001 0.005 0.002 0.04 The probabilities of failure if these events occur are: F F G) = 0.3; P| G) = 0.01; P | PG) = 0.005; P = 0.0002 Use Bayes' theorem (Eq. 2.10) to calculate the probability of each of these events being the cause in the event of a missile failing to reach its target. Bayes' theorem: P(B|A) * P(A) P(A|B) = P(B)

Pierce (1948) mechanically measured the frequency (the number of wing vibrations per second) of chirps (or pulses of sound) made by a striped ground cricket, at various ground temperatures. Since crickets are ectotherms (cold-blooded), the rate of their philosophical processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Consequently, there is a reason to believe that temperature would have a profound affect on aspects of their behavior, such as chirp frequency. In general, it was found that crickets did not sing at temperatures colder than 60°F or warmer than 100°F. In the following data let X= chirps/sec for the striped ground cricket and Y= temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit.

a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00-g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100-kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase? (b) Compare your answer to labeling information found on a package of peanuts and comment on whether the values are consistent.
