Trend Analysis is a program that trends all of these outage data except
- A. outage times.
- B. reason for outage.
- C. number of outages.
- D. preempted outages.
Correct Answer

A. D. preempted outages.

Explanation

Trend Analysis is a program that analyzes and tracks various aspects of outage data. It trends the outage times, the reason for the outage, and the number of outages. However, it does not trend preempted outages. This means that the program does not analyze or track instances where outages were prevented or stopped before they occurred.

What is not a factor in determining the refractive index of air?
- A. Atmospheric pressure.
- B. Propagation medium.
- C. Temperature.
- D. Moisture.
Correct Answer

A. B. Propagation medium.

Explanation

The refractive index of a medium is a measure of how much light slows down when it passes through that medium. In the case of air, the refractive index is primarily determined by its temperature. As temperature increases, the refractive index of air decreases. Atmospheric pressure, moisture content, and other factors can also have a small effect on the refractive index of air, but the propagation medium itself, which refers to the air itself, does not play a significant role in determining the refractive index.
