A civil engineer is studying a left-turn lane that is long enough to hold seven cars. Let X be the number of cars in the line at the end of a randomly chosen red light. The engineer believes that the probability that X = x is proportional to (x + 1)(8 βˆ’ x) for x = 0, . . . , 7 (the possible values of X), i. e. P(X = x) = ( C(x + 1)(8 βˆ’ x) for x = 0, 1, . . . , 7 0 otherwise 1. Determine the value of C. 2. Find the probability that X will be at least 5.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200Β°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
