    Exponential Random Variables with Parameters

    It is known that the time (in hours) between consecutive traffic accidents can be described by the exponential r.v. X with parameter (Lambda = 1/60). Find (i) P(X < or = 60); (ii) P(X> 120); and (iii) P(10<X< or = 100).

    Greatest Common Divisors

    1. Let a, b be positive integers, and write a = qb + r, where q, r are Elements of Z and 0 (= or)< r < b. Suppose that d = gcd(a, b). a) If r = 0 show that d = b. b) If r > 0 show that d = gcd(b, r). 4. Use Problem 1 to find: a) gcd(100; 3); b) gcd(100; 82).

    Common Divisors

    1. Let d; a; b; r, and q be integers. a) Suppose that d|a and d|b. Show that d|(ra + qb). b) Suppose a = qb + r. Show that the set of common divisors of a and b is the set of common divisors of b and r.

    Linear algebra - Orthogonality and Projection

    Q: Find the point P on the line passing through both the origin and the point 1,1,1 that is closest to the point 2,4,4. Then find the point q on the line passing through both the origin and the point 2,4,4 that is closes to the point 1,1,1

    Prove the Extended Pythagorean Theorem: E^2=lbl

    We've defined the error between a vector b in Euclidean vector space R^m and its projection p onto a subspace of R^m as E=lb-pl. Prove the extended pythagorean Theorem: E^2=lbl^2 - lPl^2.

    Discontinuous Counter Example

    I need a counterexample for the following: If f:[a,b] -> R is ONE-TO-ONE and satisfies the intermediate value property, then f is continuous on [a,b]. I know that this is a false statement if you exclude the one-to-one property. The example I received before was f(x) = sin(1/x), but this function is not one-to-one. I am

    Mathematical modeling using systems of linear first order equations

    Two tanks each hold 3 liters of salt water and are connected by two pipes (see figure below) the salt water in each tank is kept well stirred. Pure water flows into tank A at a rate of 5 liters per minute and the salt mixture exits tank B at the same rate. Salt water flows from tank A to tank B at the rate of 9 liters per min

    Linear Algebra : Leontief Input-Output Model and Real-World Applications

    1. Why did Leontief use linear algebra techniques to create his model? Can you think of alternative methods? 2. What are the main strengths of his model? 3. Does it have any limitations (that you can think of)? 4. How might the Input-Output model be useful in the real world? (In other words, would anyone except an Economist
