Homework Statement
\[P^{'}(t)+(\lambda +\mu )P(t)=\lambda \]
I have never worked with differential equations before and I am trying to work off of the one example we did in class, but I can't figure out where I am going wrong.

Homework Statement
Let X be the number of 1's and Y be the number of 2's that occur in n rolls of a fair die. Find Cov(X, Y)
Homework Equations
Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y)
The Attempt at a Solution
Both X and Y are binomial with parameters n and 1/6. Thus it is easy to find E(X)...
Homework Statement
The probability mass function of a random variable X is:
P(X=k) = (r+k-1 C r-1)pr(1-p)k
Give an interpretation of X.

Homework Statement
Show that if A1, A2, ..., An are independent events then
P(A1 U A2 U ... An) = 1 - [1-P(A1)][1-P(A2)]...[1-P(An)]
Homework Equations
If A and B are independent then the probability of their intersection is P(A)P(B).
The same can also be said of AC and B.

Homework Statement
Let G be a finite group. Prove that if some conjugacy class has exactly two elements then G can't be simple
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I originally proved this accidentally assuming that G is abelian, which it isn't. So say x and y are...
Here is my idea although it may be way off the mark.
Still looking at p=3, the subgroup could contain powers of 10 different 9-cycles that way you'd have 80 different elements plus the identity. I think that works.
Although I guess we can't be sure that it's closed.
Well, I'm basically out of...
Okay, that's true. Sorry.
I guess I really just have no idea how to find generators for this.
I was trying with p=3 for my example and found that 3^4 is the highest power of 3 that divides 9! since there are 4 factors of 3 in 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1. So the Sylow p-subgroup would have 81 elements. So...

Find a set of generators for a p-Sylow subgroup K of Sp2
.
Find the order of K and determine whether it is normal in Sp2 and if it is abelian.

The Attempt at a Solution
So far I have that the order of Sp2 is p2!. So p2 is the highest power of...

Homework Statement
If J is a subgroup of G whose order is a power of a pirme p, prove that J must be contained in a Sylow p-subgroup of G.
(Take H to be a Sylow p-subgroup of G and let X be the set of left cosets of H. Define an action of G on X by g(xH) = gxH and consider the induced action...
Well, my guess is that the number of rotational symmetries for the new object is less than the number for the original dodecahedron. I would guess it's dihedral or icosahedral (since I know of one axis with order 5) symmetry even though I do see a couple of problems with those theories, but I...
Homework Statement
Let G be the group of rotational symmetries of the octahedron and consider the action of G on the edges of the truncated octahedron.
Describe the orbits of this action.
Choose one representative element in each orbit. Describe the stabilizers of these representative...
Would the last two 3-cycles really be fixed? If there were six elements remaining to put into cycles there are still 20 different ways to put them into two separate 3-cycles, correct?
