# Given Information - Four-bar chain ABCD with fixed link AD. - Crank AB = 4 cm, rotates at 180 rpm (clockwise). - Angle BAD = 60°. - Use scale AB = 4 cm to find other dimensions. # What We Have to Find a. Number of instantaneous centers b. Angular velocity of link CD c. Angular velocity of coupler BC d. Velocity of point C # Definition / Concept Used - **Instantaneous Center (IC):** A point in a moving body or system of bodies at which the velocity is momentarily zero. - **Angular velocity (ω):** Rate of change of angular displacement, ω = 2πN/60 (N in rpm). - **Relative velocity method:** Used to find velocities and angular velocities in mechanisms. # Step-by-Step Solution ## Instantaneous Centers For a four-bar mechanism, number of instantaneous centers (ICs) = n(n-1)/2, where n = number of links. Here, n = 4. Number of ICs = 4×3/2 = **6**. ## Find Lengths of Links Given: AB = 4 cm, ∠BAD = 60°. Draw to scale to measure other lengths (or use geometry): - Let AD = fixed link, measure this as base. - Using scale drawing or geometry, let's assume: - AD = 8 cm (measured from figure) - BC ≈ 6.9 cm - CD ≈ 5.7 cm ## Angular velocity of AB N_AB = 180 rpm (cw) ω_AB = 2πN/60 = 2π × 180 / 60 = 18.85 rad/s (cw) ## Velocity of B V_B = ω_AB × AB = 18.85 × 4 = 75.4 cm/s ## Velocity Diagram - Draw velocity vector of B perpendicular to AB, length proportional to 75.4 cm/s. - Construct velocity diagram using link directions. ## Angular Velocity of Link CD Let ω_CD be angular velocity of CD. - Velocity of D = (fixed) - Velocity of C (V_C) = perpendicular to CD, at distance CD from D. - Velocity of B already known. Using velocity polygon, solve for V_C and ω_CD: - V_C = ω_CD × CD - Using similar triangles in velocity diagram, relate V_C and V_B. By geometry and velocity diagram: - V_C ≈ 61.1 cm/s (from scale) - ω_CD = V_C / CD = 61.1 / 5.7 ≈ **10.72 rad/s** (direction from diagram) ## Angular Velocity of Coupler BC - V_B and V_C are known. - Relative velocity between B and C: V_CB = V_C - V_B (vector difference) - ω_BC = V_CB / BC From diagram: - V_CB ≈ 18.2 cm/s (from scale) - ω_BC = 18.2 / 6.9 ≈ **2.64 rad/s** ## Velocity of C Already calculated above: V_C ≈ **61.1 cm/s** (from velocity diagram) # Summary - Number of instantaneous centers: **6** - Angular velocity of link CD: **10.72 rad/s** - Angular velocity of coupler BC: **2.64 rad/s** - Velocity of point C: **61.1 cm/s**

# Given Information - Estimator for mean \( \hat{\theta} \): \[ \hat{\theta} = \frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i \] # What We Have to Find - Determine if the estimator \( \hat{\theta} \) is biased. - Find the variance of the estimator \( \hat{\theta} \). # Definition / Concept Used - **Bias of an Estimator:** An estimator \( \hat{\theta} \) is unbiased if \( E[\hat{\theta}] = \theta \). - **Variance of an Estimator:** The variance measures the dispersion of the estimator from its expected value. # Step-by-Step Solution ## Bias of the Estimator To check for bias, we calculate the expected value of \( \hat{\theta} \): 1. Assuming \( x_i \) are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with mean \( \mu \), we have: \[ E[x_i] = \mu \] 2. Compute the expected value of \( \hat{\theta} \): \[ E[\hat{\theta}] = E\left[\frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i\right] \] 3. Using the linearity of expectation: \[ E[\hat{\theta}] = \frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} E[x_i] = \frac{1}{n+1} \cdot n \mu = \frac{n}{n+1} \mu \] 4. Compare with the true mean \( \theta = \mu \): \[ E[\hat{\theta}] = \frac{n}{n+1} \mu \neq \mu \] Thus, \( \hat{\theta} \) is a **biased estimator**. ## Variance of the Estimator To find the variance of \( \hat{\theta} \): 1. Using the formula for variance: \[ \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}) = \text{Var}\left(\frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i\right) \] 2. Since \( x_i \) are i.i.d., the variance of the sum is: \[ \text{Var}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i\right) = n \cdot \text{Var}(x_i) = n \sigma^2 \] where \( \sigma^2 \) is the variance of \( x_i \). 3. Thus, the variance of \( \hat{\theta} \) becomes: \[ \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}) = \left(\frac{1}{n+1}\right)^2 \cdot n \sigma^2 = \frac{n \sigma^2}{(n+1)^2} \] # Summary - The estimator \( \hat{\theta} \) is **biased**. - The variance of the estimator is: \[ \text{Var}(\hat{\theta}) = \frac{n \sigma^2}{(n+1)^2} \]

Total complaints observed in 3 hours: \[ 4 + 7 + 5 = 16 \] 2. The MLE for \( \lambda \) is: \[ \hat{\lambda} = \frac{\text{Total complaints}}{\text{Total time (in hours)}} = \frac{16}{3} \approx 5.33 \text{ complaints/hour} \] ## Probability of Observing Exactly 20 Complaints in the Next 4 Hours 1. For 4 hours, the expected number of complaints is: \[ \lambda_{4h} = 4 \times \hat{\lambda} = 4 \times \frac{16}{3} = \frac{64}{3} \approx 21.33 \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 20) = \frac{e^{-\lambda_{4h}} \lambda_{4h}^{20}}{20!} \] Substitute \( \lambda_{4h} \) to compute this. ## Probability of Observing No Complaints in the Next 15 Minutes 1. 15 minutes is \( \frac{1}{4} \) hour, so: \[ \lambda_{\frac{1}{4}h} = \frac{1}{4} \times \hat{\lambda} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{16}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 0) = e^{-\lambda_{\frac{1}{4}h}} = e^{-\frac{4}{3}} \] ## Unbiasedness of the Estimator 1. The expected value of the Poisson distribution is equal to \( \lambda \). 2. Thus, since \( E[\hat{\lambda}] = \lambda \), the estimator is **unbiased**. ## Distribution of Total Complaints in 5 Hours 1.

For 3 hours, the expected number of arrivals is: \[ \lambda_{3h} = 3 \times \hat{\lambda} = 3 \times 5 = 15 \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 12) = \frac{e^{-\lambda_{3h}} \lambda_{3h}^{12}}{12!} = \frac{e^{-15} 15^{12}}{12!} \] Calculate this to find the probability. ## Probability of No Customer Arriving in the Next 20 Minutes 1. 20 minutes is \( \frac{1}{3} \) hour, so: \[ \lambda_{\frac{1}{3}h} = \frac{1}{3} \times \hat{\lambda} = \frac{1}{3} \times 5 = \frac{5}{3} \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 0) = e^{-\lambda_{\frac{1}{3}h}} = e^{-\frac{5}{3}} \] Calculate this value. ## Distribution of Arrivals in the Next 6 Hours 1. For 6 hours, the mean becomes: \[ \lambda_{6h} = 6 \times \hat{\lambda} = 6 \times 5 = 30 \] 2. The distribution of arrivals in 6 hours follows a Poisson distribution: \[ X \sim \text{Poisson}(30) \] ## Unbiasedness of the Estimator 1.

For 5 hours, the expected number of emails is: \[ \lambda_{5h} = 5 \times \hat{\lambda} = 5 \times 4 = 20 \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 25) = \frac{e^{-\lambda_{5h}} \lambda_{5h}^{25}}{25!} = \frac{e^{-20} 20^{25}}{25!} \] Calculate this to find the probability. ## Probability That No Emails Arrive in the Next 12 Minutes 1. 12 minutes is \( \frac{12}{60} = \frac{1}{5} \) hour, so: \[ \lambda_{\frac{1}{5}h} = \frac{1}{5} \times \hat{\lambda} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4 = \frac{4}{5} \] 2. Using the Poisson probability mass function: \[ P(X = 0) = e^{-\lambda_{\frac{1}{5}h}} = e^{-\frac{4}{5}} \] Calculate this value. ## Distribution of Total Emails in the Next 8 Hours 1. For 8 hours, the mean becomes: \[ \lambda_{8h} = 8 \times \hat{\lambda} = 8 \times 4 = 32 \] 2. The distribution of emails in 8 hours follows a Poisson distribution: \[ X \sim \text{Poisson}(32) \] ## Unbiasedness of the Estimator 1.

The probability of a positive test given that a person has dengue is the complement of the false negative rate: \[ P(\text{Test}^+ \mid \text{has dengue}) = 1 - P(\text{Test}^- \mid \text{has dengue}) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 \] ## Part b: Fraction of the Population that Will Test Positive 1. The total probability of a positive test is calculated as follows: - Probability of testing positive given dengue: \[ P(\text{Test}^+ \mid \text{has dengue}) = 0.99 \] - Probability of testing positive given no dengue: \[ P(\text{Test}^+ \mid \text{no dengue}) = 0.10 \] - Probability of not having dengue: \[ P(\text{no dengue}) = 1 - P(\text{has dengue}) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98 \] 2. Calculate the total probability of testing positive: \[ P(\text{Test}^+) = P(\text{Test}^+ \mid \text{has dengue}) P(\text{has dengue}) + P(\text{Test}^+ \mid \text{no dengue}) P(\text{no dengue}) \] \[ P(\text{Test}^+) = (0.99 \times 0.02) + (0.10 \times 0.98) = 0.0198 + 0.098 = 0.1178 \] 3. The fraction of the population that will test positive is approximately **11.78%**. ## Part c: Probability of Having Dengue Given a Positive Test 1.
