A random sample of size 100 is drawn from an exponential distribution with parameter=8.  See page 195 for the definition of the exponential distribution.   Find the value of x such that the sample mean is smaller than x with a probability of 12.3%.  You can use some approximation method we learned in class to obtain an approximate answer.    

Match each equation with the best reaction classification.

At the beginning of the semester, you were asked to develop a hypothesis regarding why some regions of California are experiencing subsidence (sinking). At this point in the semester, you’ve learned about multiple reasons for subsidence to occur in California.  In a sentence or two, please describe one reason why subsidence is occurring in a specific province in California and list what geomorphic province this is.

This province was created due to compressive forces related to the Big Bend in the San Andreas Fault. This bend and motion also led to rotation and as such, has many mountains oriented at a different direction in comparison to all other mountain ranges in California.

Describe the formation of accretionary prisms (also known as an accretionary wedge) in California geology as revealed in the Coast Ranges. Please answer in 250 words or less. In your explanation, include the following: The specific plate tectonic setting associated with the formation. Describe what type of plate boundary and the way(s) the lithospheric crust is interacting here. (1.5 pt) Describe the rocks that compose this feature and why these rocks are in this feature. (1.5 pt)

A friend tells you of an area in California covered with dark-colored lava, but they noted there were only a few small, steep-sided volcanic cones covered with loose debris.  Quickly, you assess the situation and inform them that:

During a routine assessment, the patient mentions occasionally seeing small ‘dots’ and ‘web-like strands’ floating across the visual field.” (like in the picture below). How should the nurse respond, using clinical judgment to ensure patient safety and appropriate monitoring? 

CAR-T cell therapy involves the use of a patient’s ______[1]_________ and turns them into cancer fighters against cancers such as multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphona, follicular lymphoma, ALL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. What kind of treatment is CAR-T? ______[2]__________ 

What is the most common pre-formed mediator and compromises approximately 10% of the total weight of the granules in mast cells.

Problem 3 – 60 pts Part (b) – 25 pts  R-134a and air flow through the devices below. The refrigerant flows at 0.12 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the heat exchanger at 2.8 bar with a quality of 0.25. It exits the heat exchanger at 70 °C before being compressed to 9.0 bar. The compressor operates with an isentropic efficiency of 75%.   The air, flowing at 2.57 kg/s, enters the heat exchanger at 310 K.   Assumptions to follow: Variable heats for ideal gases Entropy approximation range: ± 0.01 kJ/kg-K (b) 25 pts – Determine the temperature of the air exiting the heat exchanger in K   Documents: ME3523_ThermoTables_MoranShapiro_9thEd.pdf ME3523_FormulaSheet_Exam1.pdf ThermodynamicDevices.pdf ME3523_UnitConversions.pdf
