1. Generate 20 random numbers and solve the following integrals by monte-carlo
(i) (ii)
2. A piece of equipment contains four identical tubes and can function only if all the four are in working order. The lives of tubes has approximately uniform distribution from 1000 to 2000 hours. The current maintenance practice is to replace a tube when it fails. Equipments has to be shut down for 1 hr for replacing a tube, the cost of one tube is sh 100, while the shut down time cost sh 200 per hour. Simulate the system for about 6000 hrs of run and find the maintenance cost using the following random numbers
0.8,0.2,0.6,0.3,0.1,0,0.8,0.9,0.2,0.8,0.3,0.7,0.4,0.8,0.5,0.6,0,0.4,0.9

3. A baker is trying to determine how many dozens of bread to bake each day. The probability distribution of the number of customers is as follows.
Number of customers: 10 12 14 16
Probability: 0.35 0.30 0.20 0.15
Customers order1,2,3 or 4 dozen bread according to the following distribution
Number of order/customers: 1 2 3 4
Probability: 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1
Bread sells for sh 60 per dozen and cost sh 42 per dozen to make. The breads not sold at the end of the day are disposed off at half price. Generate uniformly distributed random numbers and determine by simulation the system for 20 days the dozen of bread which should be baked.
4. A newsstand can buy a daily newspaper for sh 50 each and sell it for sh 85. The unsold copies if any can be disposed off as waste paper at sh 20 each. The estimated daily demand distribution is as follows Demand (no of copies) probability 100 0.03 110 0.07 120 0.19 130 0.28 140 0.20 150 0.10 160 0.05 170 0.05 180 0.03
Generate uniformly distributed random numbers and determine the optimal number of newspaper copies which should be procured, so that the expected profit is maximum

    William is a quality inspector for an appliance manufacturer and is currently testing an oven. The oven starts off at room temperature, which is 70 degrees Celsius. William turns the oven to 167 degrees. The temperature in the oven increases from 70 degrees to 167 degrees over the following 10 minutes at a constant rate, so that the temperature follows a uniform distribution over the interval between 70 degrees and 167 degrees. At a randomly chosen time during that 10 minutes, William records the temperature of the oven.…

    In this paper we derive the singularity-free dynamic equations of vehicle–manipulator systems using a minimal representation. These systems are normally modeled using Euler angles, which leads to singularities, or Euler parameters, which is not a minimal representation and thus not suited for Lagrange’s equations. We circumvent these issues by introducing quasi-coordinates which allows us to derive the dynamics using minimal and globally valid non-Euclidean configuration coordinates. This is a great advantage as the configuration space of the vehicle in general is non-Euclidean. We thus obtain a computationally efficient and singularity-free formulation of the dynamic equations with the same complexity as the conventional Lagrangian approach. The closed form formulation makes the proposed approach well suited for system analysis and model-based control. This paper focuses on the dynamic properties of vehicle–manipulator systems and we present the explicit matrices needed for implementation together with several mathematical relations that can be used to speed up the algorithms. We also show how to calculate the inertia and Coriolis matrices and present these for several different vehicle–manipulator systems in such a way that this can be implemented for simulation and control purposes without extensive knowledge of the mathematical background. By presenting the explicit…
