Rigid tank A and tank B (containing water) are connected to a piston cylinder with two valves as shown below. The piston cylinder assembly is initially (state 1) empty when the valves are closed.
The pressure required to float the piston is 800kPa, the piston is constantly loaded and is free to move. Now the valves are opened and the fluid reaches a uniform state at 250C within the system (state 2).
Determine: (a) The final volume (5 points) (b) The final pressure (5 points) (c) The work done (5 points) (d) Show the process on a PV diagram (5 points) (e) The heat transfer
The initial conditions for tank A are: Mass=3kg T=120C Volume=0.6?3 The initial conditions for tank B are: P=600kPa T=200C Volume=0.4?3

Use the binomial distribution to determine which of the
following three games has the highest probability of
winning. What is the minimum rational price you should charge to
play this game if you must pay a winner
$5.00?
Game 1: throw a single die 6 times. You win if you roll a 1 at
least once.
Game 2: throw a single die 12 times. You win if you roll a 1 at
least twice.
Game 3: throw a single die 18 times. You win if you roll a 1 at

1. In an English? auction, the dominant strategy is to:
A. Bid when the price is higher than your value
B. Bid until the price is above your value
C. Bid until the price is lower than your value
D. Bid when the price is equal to your value
In? equilibrium, the winning bidder will believe the item to have_____(the lowest value/ the highest value/ no value)
and will pay a price equal to the____ (lowest bidder/ highest bidder/ second-highest bidder)
2.Auctions help in price discovery by? ____________.
A.giving consumers the thrill of competing for a? good, since the highest bidder wins.
B.creating increased demand for ordinary? goods, such as the Apple iPad.

Consider this childhood game with two players, A and B. There are 11 lit candles. The players take turns blowing out 1, 2, or 3 candles, with A going first. The player that blows out the last candle wins. It is possible to solve this game using backwards induction. The numbers below may help you to organize your thoughts.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
a. In equilibrium, which player wins the game?
b. On this player’s first move, how many candles should they blow out?
c. Pick a number of candles greater than 11 for which the other player would definitely be able to win the game. If no such number of candles exists (i.e. the same player would win for any number of candles 11 or greater), say so.

PLEASE USE ONLY FLOWGRITHM!!!
Design a modular program that accepts as input 20 numbers between 0 and 100 (including 0 and 100). The program should store the numbers in an array and then display the following information:
The lowest number in the array
The highest number in the array
The total of the numbers in the array
The average of the numbers in the array
Your program should consist of the following:
Module main. Accepts input of numbers and assigns them to an array. The array is traversed in order to find the highest number, lowest number, total and average of the numbers.
Module showStats. Displays the highest number, lowest number, total and average of the numbers.

Sotheby’s has acquired a new Rothko painting and it has decided to auction it. There are two anonymous art-lover bidders of the painting, we will refer to them as Bidder A and Bidder B to protect their anonymity. In this auction format, Bidder A and Bidder B simultaneously submit a written bid for the Rothko painting. However, the auction has a weird twist. Sotheby’s requires that Bidder A must submit an odd number (in millions of US dollars) between 1 and 9 (that is, the bid must be 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) and Bidder B’s bid must be an even number between 2 and 10 (that is, the bid must be 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10). The bidder who submits the highest bid wins the Rothko and pays a price equal to her bid. The winning bidder’s payoff equals his valuation of the item less the price she pays, whereas the losing bidder’s payoff is 0. Assume that Bidder A has a valuation of 7 (million US dollars) and that Bidder B has a valuation of 8 (million US dollars).
a) (10 points) Write down the strategic form of this game.
b) (10 points) Find all of the Nash equilibria of the game you wrote in part a.

1)A realtor has been told that 46 % of homeowners in a city prefer to have a finished basement. She surveys a group of 200 homeowners randomly chosen from her client list. Find the standard deviation of the proportion of homeowners in this sample who prefer a finished basement.
a) 0.46% b) 46% c) 3.5% d)0.5% e)1.8%
2)the number of games won by a minor league baseball team and the average attendance at their home game is analyzed. A regression analysis to predict the average attendance from the number of games won gives the model attendance = -2800 +197 wins. Predict the average attendance of a team with 55 wins.

3)In a large class, the professor has each person toss a coin several times and calculate the proportion of his or her tosses that were heads. The students then report their results, and the professor plots a histogram of these several proportions. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to provide the appropriate response. If the students toss the coin 80 times each, about 95% should have proportions between what two numbers?
4)The average composite ACT score for Ohio students who took the test in 2003 was 21.4. Assume that the standard deviation is 1.05. In a random sample of 64 students who took the exam in 2003, what is the probability that the average composite ACT score is 22.5 or more? Make sure to identify the sampling distribution you use and check all necessary conditions.

Please calculate the air consumption rate below in litre/sec
The forge contains one large pneumatically operated hammer driven by 1 double acting cylinder, piston rod at one end only, bore 400mm, piston rod diameter 100mm, stroke 680mm. The piston executes 9 up strokes and 9 down strokes in 1.5 minutes then does nothing for 3.5 minutes, then repeats the cycle. The air is regulated to enter at 590 kPa.g. and in this machine the pressure in the cylinder may be taken to be this for the full stroke.
