Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a scenario where a new factory is introduced into a community, analyze the potential impact of pollutant dispersion using Gaussian modeling, considering wind patterns and height of emissions.
💡 Hint: Use vector analysis for wind direction with the emission height.
Explore a case where pollution levels in a real-world setting do not conform to the ideal Gaussian distribution. What causes this deviation?
💡 Hint: Think of sudden weather changes or geographic barriers.
