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

- The 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 x<-rock$shape. Assume that the n area measurements x=(x1, x2,...,xn) are a random sample from a population with true unknown mean ? and true unknown variance ?2. Remember, let x be defined by x<-rock$shape.arrow_forward8.

- Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae W = cLpVq. 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_forwardA firm produces bolts whose length x is normally distributed with a Me = 78.3 mm and a SD = 1.4mm.

- A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of a mountain. Assume that weights of skiers are normally distributed with a mean of 197 lb and a standard deviation of 41 lb. The gondola has a stated capacity of 25 passengers, and the gondola is rated for a load limit 3750 . Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Given that the gondola is rated for a load limit of 3750 Ib, what is the maximum mean weight of the passengers if the gondola is filled to the stated capacity of 25 passengers? The maximum mean weight is Ib (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If the gondola is filled with 25 randomly selected skiers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds the value from part (a)? The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) filled with 20 randomly selected skiers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds 187.5 lb, which is the maximum mean c. If the weight assumptions were revised so that the new capacity became 20 passengers and the gondola…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_forward
