    Which way is the current flowing?

    You have been very helpful. I appreciate your time and effort.

    Which way is the current flowing?

    This is where my confusion lies. In your equation the 6mA is leaving the node (k) and the other currents are entering (+ entering, - leaving). why is this? If I can just get past this hole in my thinking I'll be ok I think

    Which way is the current flowing?

    I understand what you are saying,but I have to solve it using nodal analysis. I just want to know which way the currents are flowing into and out of the nodes.Yes it can be done how you are suggesting and it makes the problem much simpler, but that is not the point of this exercise for me.

    How Can I Improve My Time Management Skills to Save My College Career?

    I have a problem that I need to solve in a hurry or my college career will soon be over. My problem is I work too slow. It takes me a really long time to get even simple assignments done in a reasonable amount of time. Time management is another big issue for me. I literally spend hours and...

    Probability Problems: P(X≤15)=0.3, P(15<X≤24)=0.6, P(X>20)=0.5

    You are correct, the problem is not posted correctly. My latex coding is lacking...I wish there were a way a could delete this post.

    Probability Problems: P(X≤15)=0.3, P(15<X≤24)=0.6, P(X>20)=0.5

    Let P(X\leq \15)= 0.3, P(15\less X \leq24)=6 and (P X > 20) = 0.5I don't understand how I would find this probability: P(15\lessX\leq20 The answer is 0.2.

    Set Notation in Probability: Clarifying the Meaning of Union and Intersection

    I'm having a little difficulty understaning the notation used in my probability class. Would someone tell me if I'm on the right track with it :) A\cup B is the event "either A or B or both." Does this mean that A and B can happen together and that A or B can happen alone? A\cap B...
