The length of time a 1999 Honda Civic lasts before needing major repairs is normally distributed with a mean of 7 years and a standard deviation of 1.7 years.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected 1999 Honda
Civic lasts between 5.5 and 9 years?
b. If Honda Motor Company, Ltd. informed you that your Honda Civic
is at 70th percentile, what is your Honda Civic’s years without
major repairs?
c. A family-owned two Honda Civics. One of them is 1999 and lasted
7.5 years without a major repair. Other one (2002) lasted 9.0
years, but the distribution of 2002 Honda Civic had higher mean
(8.4) with a standard deviation of 1.9 years. Which Honda Civic did
better relative to other Honda Civics from the same year? (hint:
Need to compare z scores from different normal distributions (1999
and 2002).

The current of a beam of electrons, each with a speed of 908 m/s, is 7.15 mA. At one point along its path, the beam encounters a potential step of height -1.28 μV. What is the current on the other side of the step boundary?

The student academic group on a college campus claims that freshman students study at least 2.5 hours per day, on average. One Introduction to Statistics class was skeptical. The class took a random sample of 30 freshman students and found a mean study time of 137 minutes with a standard deviation of 45 minutes. At α = 0.01 level, is the student academic group’s claim correct? Calculate the p-value.

a. What is N-S equations for incompressible flows in cartesian coordinates in long form (in x,y,z coordinates)?
b. What is continuity equation and N-S equations for incompressible flows in polar coordinates in long form (in r,θ,z)
c. What is N-S equations in x direction for Planar Couette- Pouseille flow and derive an equation for velocity variation using boundary layer conditions
d. Assume an incompressible, steady, axissymmetric, fully developed Pouseille flow in a cylindrical pipe (infinitesimally long in z direction). The flow is in z direction, and radial and tangetial velocity is zero. Derive and simplify the N-S equation in z direction to find out the velocity in z direction. (need to use the boundary conditions to solve for integration constants)
