In Exercise 66, the weight of the beam itself contributes to the bending moment. Assume that the beam is of uniform thickness and density so that the resulting load is uniformly distributed on the beam. If the weight of the beam is random, the resulting load from the weight is also random; denote this load by W (kip-ft).
a. If the beam is 12 ft long, W has mean 1.5 and standard deviation .25, and the fixed loads are as described in part (a) of Exercise 66, what are the
b. If all three variables (X1, X2, and W) are

- Suppose you are allowed to choose any weights as long as they sum to 1. Could you always find a set of weights that would make the MSE smaller for a weighted moving average than for an unweighted moving average? Why or why not?arrow_forwardQ1. Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 172 lb and astandard deviation of 29 lb.Use a Table A-2 and TI 84 to find the answer of each part. Draw a density curve for each.a) Find the weights that separated the bottom 5% and the top 5% of the men.b) Find the weights that separated the bottom 70% from the top 30% of the men.c) Find the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his weight will begreater than 200 lb. Find the z score for 200 lb.d) Find the probability that 49 randomly selected men will have a mean weight that is lessthan 175 lb. Find the z score for 175 lb.arrow_forward3.) A population has a mean of 300 and a variance of 80. If we get 160 samples from this population, what will be the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample mean? A.) µx = 300 and ox =0.53 B.) µx = 300 and ox =0.71 C.) µx = 300 and ox =6.32 D.) µx = 300 and ox =80 %3D %3D %3D %3D 4.) The average price of fishes in the market is P142.23 with standard deviation of P46.24. If we take 49 samples from the market, what would be the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample mean? A.) ux = 46.24 and ox = 49 B.) ux = 46.24 and ox = 6.61 C.) ux = 46.24 and ox = 20.32 D.) ux = 142.23 and ox =6.61 %3D %3Darrow_forward

One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed 45 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg with a length of 3.1 m and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write an equation with the correct coefficient and parameters values.arrow_forward
- A firm produces bolts whose length x is normally distributed with a Me = 78.3 mm and a SD = 1.4mm. If any bolt longer than 80mm has to be discarded, what proportion of the firm's production will be lost?arrow_forwardThe built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x30 we can create a confidence interval for μ using a normal critical value. If we want the confidence interval to be at the 94% level and we use a normal critical value, then what critical value should we use? i) Calculate a 94% confidence interval(using a normal critical value) for μ.arrow_forwardAssume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0° and standard deviation of 1.00°C. Assume 2.1% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 2.1% are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Draw a sketch and find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.arrow_forward
