1. Describe the transportation modes available in your hometown. Using your own words, explain how the transportation modes influenced the development of your hometown. (10 marks) 2. List and briefly describe at least five transportation facility characteristics typically specified by design standards. (5 marks) 3. Determine the stopping sight distance on a 4.0% grade at a design speed of 100 km/h. (5 marks) 4. Design standards link vehicle characteristics, human characteristics and the characteristics of the transportation facility. What features of human and vehicle characteristics are important in the derivation of design standards? (10 marks) 5. Compute the minimum length of vertical curve that will provide 220 m stopping sight distance for a design speed of 110 km/h at the intersection of a -3.50% grade and a +2.70% grade. (5 marks)

(1 point) Determine the average rate of change of the following function between the given values of the variable: f(x) = x4 - - X; x = -2, x = 3 Average rate of change = .

Question Suppose three point masses are placed in the xy-plane as follows (assume coordinates are given in meters): mi = 5 kg, placed at (-2, -3) m2 = 3 kg, placed at (2,3) 'm3 = 2 kg, placed at (-3, -2) Find the center of mass of the system. Write your answer as an ordered pair Provide your answer below:

let f(x)= x^2-5, g(x)= 2x^3+x and p(x)= f(x)g(x). a) computedp/dx b) compute f'(x)g'(x)

Suppose that a company is developing a new touch-screen cell phone. Historically, 70% of their new phones have resulted in high consumer demand, whereas 30% have resulted in low consumer demand. The company has the decision of choosing between two models with different features that require different amount of investment and have different sales potential. Estimated profit/loss are shown in the payoff table below. State of Nature High demand, ($) Low demand, ($) Model 1 300,000 -40,000 Model 2 275,000 -15000 Now suppose the firm conducts a market research study to obtain sample information and better understand the nature of consumer demand. The market research cost $10,000 Analysis of past market research studies, conducted prior to introducing similar products, has found that the survey response will be either high or low. There is a 69% chance that the survey will return a high survey response (results) and there is a 31% chance that the survey will result in lo-demand response (results). The relevant conditional probabilities are as follows: P (high consumer demand, high survey response = 0.913) P (low consumer demand, low survey response = 0.087) P (high consumer demand, high survey response = 0.226) P (low consumer demand, low survey response = 0.774) Calculate the expected value of sample information (EVSI).
