A box in a certain supply room contains three 40-W lightbulbs, five 60-W bulbs, and six 75-W bulbs. Suppose that three bulbs are randomly selected. a) What is the probability that exactly three of the selected bulbs are rated 75-W? b) What is the probability that all three of the selected bulbs have the same rating? c) What is the probability that one bulb of each type is selected? d) Suppose now that bulbs are to be selected one by one until a 75 W bulb is found. What is the probability that it is necessary to examine at least six bulbs?

Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1364 W/m2 what angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 35% of the original value?

What percentage of the light incident on the surface is transmitted? b. What are the reflectance, absorptance, and transmittance values? c. In your opinion, is the surface receiving the light or dark in color? d. Is the surface translucent or opaque?
For a street lighting system, having the following conditions: Street width = 15 m Mounting height = 7.5 m Lamp size = 6000 lumen Luminaire type = II Coefficient of utilization = 0.44 Maintenance factor = 0.8 What is the spacing between lighting units to produce average Lux = 6?
The same venturi meter described in letter a is used to measure the discharge for a length of pipeline that was suspected to have had water stolen through an illegal connection. Before said suspected illegal connection, a mercury difference of 350 mm was observed while a mercury difference of 200 mm was observed afterwards. Estimate the stolen volume of water per day.
Suppose a hotel having the following data: 80 Lavatories, 30 kitchen sinks, 50 laundry, 75 showers, 60 bathtubs and 50 dishwashers. 1- Calculate the probable water demand of each type of fixture in the hotel.

4. In a murder investigation, a corpse was found by a detective at exactly 8p.m. Being alert, the detective also measured the body temperature and found it to be 70°F. Two hours later, the detective measured the body temperature again and found it to be 60°F. If the room temperature is 50°F, and assuming that the body temperature of the person before death was 98.6°F, at what time did the murder occur?
