(II) Calculate the probabilities, when you throw two dice, of obtaining (a) a 4, and (b) a 10.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability of obtaining 4 is (a) \(\frac{1}{{12}}\), and of obtaining 10 is (b) \(\frac{1}{{12}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The total number of dice is \(n = 2\).

02

Understanding probability

The probability can be obtained by dividing the number of desired results by the number of possible results.

03

Evaluation of probability of obtaining 4 when you throw two dice  

The total number of possible results is 36 when you throw two dice.

The following are the possibility of coming 4.

\(\left( {1,3} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {3,1} \right)\)

The probability of getting 4 is calculated below:

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{3}{{36}}\\P = \frac{1}{{12}}\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\frac{1}{{12}}\) is the required probability.

04

Evaluation of probability of obtaining 10 when you throw two dice  

The following are the possibility of coming 10.

\(\left( {4,6} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {5,5} \right)\)

The probability of getting 4 is calculated below:

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{3}{{36}}\\P = \frac{1}{{12}}\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\frac{1}{{12}}\) is the required probability.

Question: (I) The low temperature of a freezer cooling coil is\({\bf{ - 8^\circ C}}\)and the discharge temperature is\({\bf{33^\circ C}}\). What is the maximum theoretical coefficient of performance?

(II) A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 254 kcal of heat is added to the gas, the volume is observed to increase slowly from to \({\bf{16}}{\bf{.2}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{3}}}\).Calculate (a) the work done by the gas and (b) the change in internal energy of the gas.

Question:(I) A heat engine’s high temperature\({T_{\bf{H}}}\)could be ambient temperature, because liquid nitrogen at 77 K could be\({T_{\bf{L}}}\)and is cheap. What would be the efficiency of a Carnot engine that made use of heat transferred from air at room temperature (293 K) to the liquid nitrogen “fuel”(Fig.15–25)?

Question:(II) A four-cylinder gasoline engine has an efficiency of 0.22 and delivers 180 J of work per cycle per cylinder. If the engine runs at 25 cycles per second (1500 rpm), determine (a) the work done per second, and (b) the total heat input per second from the gasoline. (c) If the energy content of gasoline is 130 MJ per gallon, how long does one gallon last?

Question: (II) An ideal gas expands at a constant total pressure of 3.0 atm from 410 mL to 690 mL. Heat then flows out of the gas at constant volume, and the pressure and temperature are allowed to drop until the temperature reaches its original value. Calculate (a) the total work done by the gas in the process, and (b) the total heat flow into the gas.
