Our text describes a trade-off that we must make as engineers between our confidence in the value of a parameter versus the precision with which we know the value of that parameter. That trade-off might be affected by whether we are looking at a two-sided or bounded (one-sided) interval.

Question: Discuss your interpretation of the confidence-precision trade-off, and provide a few examples of how you might make a choice in one direction or the other in an engineering situation.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
