A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon resistor is 217.7 Ω. What is the temperature on a spring day when the resistance is 215.1 Ω? Take the temperature coefficient of resistivity for carbon to be α = −5.00×10^−4C^-1

Aresearcher plans to conduct a test of hypotheses at the 1% significance level. she designs her study to have a power of 0.90 at a particular alternative value of the parameter of interest. the probability that the researcher will commit a type ii error for the particular alternative value of the parameter at which she computed the power is: a. 0.90. b. 0.01. c. 0.10. d. equal to 1

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Ameter stick is pivoted at the 0.50-m line. a 3.0-kg object is hung from the 0.15-m line. where should a 5.0-kg object be hung to achieve equilibrium (the meter stick oriented horizontal and motionless)?
