Explain how beam chopping reduces line noise and noise from source drift.

The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to aging and stress. Use this distribution as a model for time (in hours) to failure of solid insulating specimens subjected to AC voltage. The values of the parameters depend on the voltage and temperature; suppose ? = 2.2 and ? = 220. (a) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250? Less than 250? More than 300? (Round your answers to five decimal places.) at most 250 less than 250more than 300 (b) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)   (c) What value (in hr) is such that exactly 50% of all specimens have lifetimes exceeding that value? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)  hr

Consider a damping system consisting of 0.250 M HCN (Ka = 4.9 x 10-10) and 0.170 M KCN. What is the pH of such a system? a. 9.47 b. 10.45 c. 9.14 d. 5.32 e. 3.71

Calculate transmittance

An absorption measurement with a 1 cm path length yields a reading of 0.004 absorbance units with a noise of 0.001 absorbance units and a mean noise reading of 0 for 10 scans averaged together.  Assuming the noise for a single scan does not change if the path length is increased to 6 cm and the number of scans is increase to 100, what is the signal to noise of the new measurement.
