Textbook Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 66E

If two loads are applied to a cantilever beam as shown in the accompanying drawing, the bending moment at 0 due to the loads is a1X1 + a2X2.

Chapter 5.5, Problem 66E, If two loads are applied to a cantilever beam as shown in the accompanying drawing, the bending

a. Suppose that X1 and X2 are independent rv’s with means 2 and 4 kips, respectively, and standard deviations .5 and 1.0 kip, respectively. If a1 = 5 ft and a2 = 10 ft, what is the expected bending moment and what is the standard deviation of the bending moment?

b. If X1 and X2 are normally distributed, what is the probability that the bending moment will exceed 75 kip-ft?

c. Suppose the positions of the two loads are random variables. Denoting them by A1 and A2, assume that these variables have means of 5 and 10 ft, respectively, that each has a standard deviation of .5, and that all Ai’s and Xi’s are independent of one another. What is the expected moment now?

d. For the situation of part (c), what is the variance of the bending moment?

e. If the situation is as described in part (a) except that Corr(X1, X2) = .5 (so that the two loads are not independent), what is the variance of the bending moment?

  • As a bonus assignment a former student checked if your professor gave a statisticallysignificant difference in grades between his male and female students. She based herstudy based on grades assigned in intermediate Econ courses (Econ 303, 305 and 317)and her sample included nm = 485 male students and nf = 264 female students. Theaverage grades received were xm = 84.6 and xf = 85.8 The population standad deviation were σ m = 12.0 and σ f = 11.4 8.

The principle courses sample size was np = 782, while the intermediate courses sample size was ni = 749. Test the hypothesis that female students are less in intermediate courses using a 90% confidence level and the p-value approach.
