One of the four primary reasons for using compression reinforcement in beams is increased ductility.

One of the primary reasons for using compression reinforcement is to increase the ductility of a given beam section.

(05.01 MC) Mateo is cooking beef. He must make sure the beef has a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees so that it is safe to eat. Using a thermometer, he takes the temperature of the beef in five random places. The minimum temperature in the sample is 165 degrees. Identify the population and the sample. (4 points)

(05.02 MC)  A bolt fabrication machine makes bolts with a target length of μ = 15.125 millimeters. The machine has some variability, so the standard deviation of the length is σ = 0.175 millimeter. The machine operator inspects a random sample of 12 bolts each hour for quality control purposes and records the sample mean diameter, x̄. Assuming the process is working properly, what are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x̄? (4 points)

(05.04 MC)  A city is interested in building a public health clinic in a certain area. Two hundred randomly selected residents from this area were asked, “Do you support the city’s decision to build a public health clinic in your area?” Of the 200 residents interviewed, 108 said no, 8 said yes, and 84 had no opinion. A large-sample z-confidence interval, p̂ ± z * , was constructed from these data to estimate the proportion of the residents who support building a public health clinic in a certain area. Which of the following statements is correct for this confidence interval? (5 points)

Checkerboard loading is the common loading pattern for determining maximum midspan positive moments due to live load.

(01.02, 02.01, 06.02 MC) Scott is the owner of a tool and die shop. He has hired you to check his machine’s calibration prior to starting production on a large order. To check this, you set the machine to create 1.5 inch screws and manufacture a random sample of 200 screws. That sample of screws has an average length of 1.476 inches with a standard deviation of 0.203 inches.Does this sample provide convincing evidence that the machine is working properly or should it be shut down for repairs?
