Hi, I've studied P(A or B) = P(A U B) - I had a class in probability/statistics. I've never formally studied order statistics, though maybe I've overlapped with it at some point. The maximum case is kind of intuitive - if the max is less than t, everything else is. We can treat it as P(A...

I know for sure that P(Max(X, Y) < 1) = P(X < 1)P(Y < 1) if the two RVs are independent, but what does P(Min(X, Y) < 1) equal? Would it be P(Min(X, Y) < 1) = P(X < 1) + P(Y < 1)? Thanks

Thanks. In general, how would I define a plane in R^3?

Homework Statement If R3 is a vector space and V = (x,x,0) is a subspace, find unique subspaces W1 and W2 such that R3 = V ⨁ W1 = V ⨁ W2 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Assuming R3 = (x,y,z) - please correct me if I'm wrong somehow - then I could pick a W1 like...

Homework Statement Say functions f and g continuous on [a,b] and happen to be orthogonal with respect to the weight function 1. Show that f or g has to vanish within (a,b). Homework Equations f and g are orthogonal w.r.t. a weight function w(x) if the integral from [a,b] of f(x)g(x)w(x)dx = 0...

Thanks I feel like a moron.

Homework Statement Provide an example of f:D-->R which is continuous but whose range has two different numbers only. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For the range to have only two different values, it's seems impossible to construct a continuous function without...

Thanks, eri. I tend to catastrophize little things ;\

I have an interesting question. I know it's unspoken that a rejection of financial aid is considered a "polite rejection" to your entire application, but what if I don't apply for financial aid? Will that effect me either way? I'm under the impression that schools actually WANT students to...

I'm a little interested, my only experience is a course in C programming. How much programming would I need to know?

I'm going to graduate from an average state school in 2011 with a math degree. I AM planning to graduate with honors. What jobs will I find? How much of a difference does a Master's make? Two more years isn't a big deal, but I've had my fill of academia, so I'd rather go straight to the job...

Does calculate still call the other functions? That's what I need to do. I'm lost.

(this is basically a dumbed-down version for the sake of clarity, but gives the same problem I'm getting) I have a subfunction called by main, named calculate, which calls two other subfunctions ("findSum" and "findQuotient") and then returns their data to main. "findSum" calculates the sum...

Thanks.

I'm very new to C. If I had a program like the one below, I was hoping someone could tell me how I should edit it so that the lines "printf("\n%20s%20f", "Half of 1", div1);" and "printf("\n%20s%20f", "Half of 2", div2);" output decimals without too many excess spaces. Currently when outputted...
