Hi,
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/probability_book/Chapter7.pdf (see page 8, sum of two independent random variables).
I don't understand why they had to go further into the limits, 1 < z < 2. Why do they have to do that? And also, where did they get it...
Hi DivisionByZro! I'm a first year student, just started post-secondary. Not much of a mathematics background - took a differential calculus course last term.
Hi PF!
I've been trying to find out how one could find which z-coordinates to 'cut' at to get a specific volume of the sphere cut off.
i.e. I have a unit sphere, therefore the total volume is (4/3)*pi*r^3, where r = 1. Now I want to get 1/4 of that volume cut off. So, (1/4)*(4/3)*pi*r^3...
