In 2017, the entire fleet of light‑duty vehicles sold in the United States by each manufacturer must emit an average of no more than 86 milligrams per mile (mg/mi) of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) over the useful life (150,000 miles of driving) of the vehicle. NOX + NMOG emissions over the useful life for one car model vary Normally with mean 82 mg/mi and standard deviation 5 mg/mi.

(a) What is the probability that a single car of this model emits more than 86 mg/mi of NOX + NMOG? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

(b) A company has 25 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level x¯ of these cars is above 86 mg/mi? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.

An independent mail delivery service wants to study factors that affect the daily gas usage of its delivery trucks. Using data collected from different trucks on various days, a company analyst uses a software to fit a regression model of the form =y+52.3+−8.9x14.1x2+5x30.09x4 , where =y volume of gasoline used (in gallons) =x1 weight of truck (in tons) =x2 tire pressure (in psi, pounds per square inch) =x3 weight of initial package load (in hundreds of pounds) =x4 total distance driven while delivering packages (in miles) Answer the following questions for the interpretation of the coefficient of x1 in this model. Holding the other variables fixed, what is the average change in daily fuel used for each additional ton that a truck weighs? gallon(s) Is this change an increase or a decrease? increase decrease

1) A utility airport is being planned to serve a small community. The visual runway is to be 3600 ft. long. Indicate whether or not the following objects will be considered obstructions to air navigation by the FAA. (HINT: 1 nautical mile = 6076 ft.)

a) A 220-ft radio tower that is not in the landing approach, located 3.1 miles from the airport reference point. The ground elevation at the tower is 25ft higher than the established airport elevation.

b) A planned 75-ft-high office building within the landing approach 1/2 mile from the end of the runway.

2) For the utility airport indicated above, what length of runway is required if the airport is located at 6000 ft above sea level and has a mean daily maximum temperature of 75°F? The effective gradient is 1.2 percent. The airport must accommodate small airplanes having more than 10 seats.

  1. Wastewater of 30ft3/s with a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 55mg/l, and dissolved oxygen (DO) of 3.3mg/l enters a river where the flow is 125ft3/s with an ultimate BOD of 7.0 mg/l, and DO of 6.8mg/l. The downstream has an average velocity of 0.8ft/s.

i           Calculate the minimum DO level and its distance in miles downstream using the oxygen sag equation. Assume k1 = 0.046 per day and k2 = 0.304 per day. The saturation DO = 8.5mg/l. (1 mile = 5280ft)

ii          At what distance downstream would the DO level of the river be equal to 6.10 mg/l?

iii      How much should the wastewater DO be increased to maintain a minimum DO of 4.8mg/l anywhere along the river. Assuming that the BOD of the wastewater and the river flow remains the same?
