    Conditional Probability Question

    Suppose that there are 2 apple trees. Tree A and tree B. A produces 0.7 of the farm's apples. And B produces 0.3. Out of the apples that tree A produces, 0.15 are bad. For B, 0.05 are bad. One package of goodies contains 3 apples. Given this information, what is the P(Tree A| at...

    Divergence Theorem: Does Multiplying div F Multiply Volume?

    Homework Statement The divergence theorem states that ∫∫∫V div F dV = ∫∫S F(dot)Ndσ Suppose that div F = 1, then ∫∫∫V div F dV = ∫∫S F(dot)Ndσ If divF = 2, does the following hold true?∫∫∫V div F dV = 2∫∫S F(dot)Ndσ Homework Equations Since the divergence theorem computes the volume, if...

    Surface area proof (vector analysis)

    edit: vector* analysis; sorry for the typo Homework Statement Given that A = ||ru||2, B = ru\bulletrv, C = ||rv||2 surface area of S is Area(S) = \int^{d}_{c}\int^{b}_{a} = sqrt (AC - B2) dudv The Dirichlet energy can be thought of as a function as follows E(S) =...

    How to use the normal form of the Green's Theorem?

    Homework Statement Suppose that F = ∇f for some scalar potential function f(x, y) = 1/2(x2 + y2) Let C denote the positively oriented unit circle, parametrized by r(t) = (cos t, sin t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 2∏. Compute the flux integral of \ointF\bulletN ds, where N is the outward unit normal to C.Homework...

    How do you compute the circulation of this fluid (path integrals)

    Homework Statement A fluid as velocity field F(x, y, z) = (xy, yz, xz). Let C denote the unit circle in the xy-plane. Compute the circulation, and interpret your answer.Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Since the unit circle is a closed loop, I assumed that ∫ F * dr = 0 (the ∫ symbol...
