An engineer creates a model to predict the electric consumption of a household in summer in a day with a predictor variable of the number of hours the air-conditioner is running. The electric consumption is only at 26 kWh per day if aircon is not used. If the aircon was used by 1 hr, the electric consumption would increase by an additional 1.44 kWh. Find the average electric consumption if the aircon is used 15 hrs.

5. For a construction project, a large number of bolts in one batch is purchased. It is known from the past experience that the tensile strength of each bolt can be modeled by a lognormal distribution with a mean value of lx = 350 kN and a coefficient of variation of dx = 0.15. In a load test, a bolt is considered to be acceptable if it carries at least 270 kN. a) What is the probability that a bolt picked randomly will pass the test? b) It is impractical to test all the bolts for their strengths. Therefore, for quality control purposes, it is required that all of the 5 bolts selected at random from the batch must pass the test for the whole batch to be acceptable. In this case, what is the probability that the purchased batch is rejected (not suitable)? c) Apart from the inspection scheme applied in Part b, another inspection scheme is proposed in order to accept the purchased batch. In this new inspection scheme, at least 9 of the 10 bolts tested must pass the test for the whole…

A radioactive material decays at a rate which is proportional to the amount of radioactivity remaining. If the amount of radioactivity remaining is denoted by N at the time t, form an equation which represents this statement. If the half-life (the time taken for half the radioactivity to decay) is 10 years, how long will it take for ¾ of the radioactivity to decay?
