In most cases a validation of the estimate is a sanity check' to ensure that the estimate is reasonable. What strategies and processes are used to conduct a validation of an estimate? Provide a brief explanation of each. (50-80 words)
The processing of raw coal involves “washing,” in which coal ash (nonorganic, incombustible material) is removed. The article “Quantifying Sampling Precision for Coal Ash Using Gy’s Discrete Model of the Fundamental Error” (Journal of Coal Quality, 1989:33–39) provides data relating the percentage of ash to the volume of a coal particle. The average percentage of ash for six volumes of coal particles was measured. The data are as follows: Volume (cm3) 0.01 0.06 0.58 2.24 15.55 276.02 Percent ash 3.32 4.05 5.69 7.06 8.17 9.36 Using the most appropriate model, predict the percent ash for particles with a volume of 48 cm3. Round answer to three decimal places. * the answer i got was of 6.260 was wrong

Nondestructive evaluation: Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) describes methodsthat quantitatively characterize materials, tissues, and structures by noninvasivemeans such as X-ray computed tomography, ultrasonics, and acoustic emission.Recently, NDE was used to detect defects in steel castings. (JOM, May 2005.)Assume that the probability that NDE detects a “hit” (i.e., predicts a defect in a steelcasting) when, in fact, a defect exists is .97. (This is often called the probability ofdetection.) Also assume that the probability that NDE detects a “hit” when, in fact,no defect exists is .005. (This is called the probability of a false call.) Past experiencehas shown that a defect occurs once in every 100 steel castings. If NDE detects a“hit” for a particular steel casting, what is the probability that an actual defectexists? Step by Step Full procedure required.

Answer the following questions based on scaling arguments, i.e., by applying “the variable X must be proportional to the Zth power of variable Y because of some relevant physical principle”-type reasoning. A. In a surface passivation process for Si wafers, the required processing time to create a 0.1 micron thick SiO2 layer on a pure Si wafer was 2 hours. Estimate the process time required to create an SiO2 layer of thickness 0.15 microns on a pure Si wafer under identical processing conditions. B. A puddle of volatile liquid of initial thickness of 1 cm was found to evaporate to form a thinner 0.5 cm layer in 1 day. How much longer would it take for the liquid layer to evaporate completely?
