Polymer Melts with the Short-Hot-Wire Method" (X. Zhang, W. Hendro, et al.,
International Journal of Thermophysics, 2002:1077–1090), the thermal diffusivity of a
liquid measured by the transient short-hot-wire method is given by

- 下午1:56 4月21日周四 * 77% •.. 38. In a physics experiment, two different methods were used to measure the angle of deflection when a subatomic particle collides with a certain material. Ten specimens of the material were used to compare the two methods. For each specimen, the angle of deflection was measured using both methods. For each specimen, the method used first was determined by the flip of a fair coin. The difference between the measured angles was calculated for each specimen. A test of the hypothesis that the population mean difference is zero had a p-value of 0.082. The hypothesis test described had three components: the number of specimens, the sample standard deviation of the differences, and the magnitude of the sample mean difference. Compared to the test described, which of the following would have resulted in a smaller p-value? (A) The number of specimens and the sample standard deviation of the differences remained the same, but the magnitude of the sample mean difference…arrow_forward7.31 In free space, the magnetic flux density is B = y'a, + za, + x'a, Wb/m (a) Show that B is a magnetic field (b) Find the magnetic flux through x = 1,0arrow_forwardIf X(t) = Y cos@ t + Z sin@ t, where Y and Z are two independent normal RVs with E(Y) = E(Z) = 0, E(Y²) = E(Z²) = oʻ and wis a constant, prove that {X(t)} is a SSS process of order 2.arrow_forward1.
