You were instructed to begin the prewriting and outlining process for Paper 2. Below, please discuss the following: The topic you chose and why. What your tentative working thesis is.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 10,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

Discuss your experiences with a tutor this week. What did you like? What did you dislike? Do you think you would take papers for other classes to the CLE in the future? Why or why not? Elaborate on your thoughts here.

A full structural analysis of continuous beams and one-way slabs is often required to find the design moments and shears at critical sections (commonly midspan and faces of supports).

(06.07 LC)  The mean and standard deviation for number of battery crimes in the U.S. from 1985 to 2000 are x̄ = 326,845 and sx = 27,569. The mean and standard deviation for number of property crimes in the U.S. for the same time period are ȳ = 634,235 and sy = 42,268. The correlation coefficient is r = 0.92. Find the equation for the least-squares regression line for number of property crimes compared with number of battery crimes. (4 points)

(04.03 MC)  The probability that Barry Bonds hits a home run on any given at-bat is 0.16, and each at-bat is independent. Part A: What is the probability that the next home run will be on his fifth at-bat? (5 points) Part B: What is the expected number of at-bats until the next home run? (5 points) (10 points)

Mom is 5 feet 6 inches and Dad is 6 feet, 1 inch tall. Their eighteen-year-old son is currently 6 feet 5 inches tall. Based on your knowledge of normal growth expectations and mid-parental height, you assess him as follows:

Please list all 6 classifications of essential nutrients.  

Please list your last meal…note how the meal contained complex or simple carbs (or both).  Then explain how you might improve the make up of it to slow the digestion process down and not have a spike in simple sugars.  

(05.05 MC)  An ecological group suspects tuna are consuming dangerous levels of copper in a region of the world. Dangerous levels of copper are classified when they reach beyond 5.7 parts per million. A random sample of 21 tunas in the region were tested and the data is shown in the stemplot. Key: 2|0 = 2.0 parts per million Part A: What proportion of the tuna in the sample have dangerous levels of copper in their systems? (4 points)Part B: Construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean copper levels of the tuna if the sample of 21 tuna has a mean copper level of 4.77 parts per million and standard deviation of 1.16 parts per million.
