A culvert for a new roadway fill is to be designed for a 25 year flood. Hydrologic
analysis results in a peak discharge of 5.66 m3
/s for this flood. The inlet invert
elevation is 30.48m, natural stream bed slope is 0.01,tailwater depth above the outlet
invert level is 1.1m, culvert length is 60.96 m and the roadway shoulder elevation is
33.5m. Design a concrete pipe culvert for this site. Assume that the accepted design
practice requires a 0.61m freeboard between the water surface in the upstream pool
and the shoulder. Also, the culvert will be a circular concrete pipe with the square
edge with headwall

A machine is designed to fill containers with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the containers completely and the amount of coffee is less than 16 ounces when filled. A sample of 8 containers has a mean of 15.6 ounces of coffee and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces of coffee.  Assume that the distribution of data is normal. At 10% significance level, is there enough evidence to support the consumer’s suspicion that the...

Conceptually describe how you would evaluate the initial grade of the new segmental culvert so that in its final condition (i.e. after all settlement is complete) it slopes with a 4% grade. The culvert will be installed prior to construction of the embankment (i.e. the embankment will be filled over the culvert).

A production line operation is designed to fill cartons with laundry detergent to a mean weight of 64 ounces. A sample of cartons is periodically selected and weighed to determine whether underfilling or overfilling is occurring. If the sample data lead to a conclusion of underfilling or overfilling, the production line will be shut down and adjusted to obtain proper filling. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that will help in deciding whether to shut down and adjust the...

A machine is designed to fill 16-ounce bottles of shampoo. When the machine is working properly, the mean amount poured into the bottles is 16.05 ounces with a standard deviation of .005 ounces. If four bottles are randomly selected each hour and the number of ounces in each bottle is measured, then 95% of the observations should occur in what interval? Round answers to four decimal places.
