The logic i used to work out this problem was that: P(0 extra people are coming to be accommodated) : 5C0 * .05^0 * .95^5 ( 5 combination 0 * 0.05^0 * 0.95^5) n = 5 , p = 0.05, q = 0.95 I am not very sure of the logic?? If anyone has any suggestions please help!

can someone check my solutions to the first 2 parts? i used binomial distribution for a) and poisson distribution for b) and they came out pretty close. so since the poisson distribution is an approximation of the binomial distribution, we would expect them to be very similar? a) 5C0 x...

i am having some difficulties for a question on probability. it is: i have no idea what so ever of how to start off. how do i approach this question... :confused: any help will be appreciated. btw, if this post is in the wrong section, feel free to move it :)

http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/attachment.php?s=&postid=266675 when doing this question, isn't the radius of the planet supposed to be added to the altitude of the satellite? having said that, would the term 'orbit' mean that the satellite is 35 000km away from the centre of mass...

lol. hmm...maybe i should try that

would some be able to give me an example that shows some evidence of length contraction? i have looked at the muons example, but it seem to be dependent on the time dilation effect, rather than being evidence of length contraction. thanks for any help.:) much appreciated. btw, feel...

hi radioactive :smile: what is flux E? also how does the finding of (lambda)max help in predicting the colour?

no need to apologise tail. i appreciate u giving up ur time to help individuals like me radioactive waves, i have read through it twice...and unfortunately i don't get it. its late night. i'll go over it tomorrow hopefully and then i'll let u know if there were any certain bits i don't get...

first of all, tail, may i tell you that this was my first post. it should have gone in the homework help section. if you think i am looking for an answer you are correct, but not directly from you. I'm sorry if you think i am just looking for a quick answer. perhaps i should have written up what...

thanks a lot.. works out perfectly

think of it this way, if the magnet is spinning/rotating faster, then there would also be a greater changing magnetic field [ greater as in the difference between the change of the magnetic field for a particular spot, if u know what i mean]. thus by referring to faradays law, the induced...

what do you think would happen to the colour of the sun if it suddenly shrank in size?

wow those pictures were amazing! its not really a picture, but actually seeing the equatorial plane of the milky way was pretty amazing.

a^2 - a^2 = (a-a)(a+a) a(a-a) = (a-a)(a+a) a = a+a a = 2a 1 = 2 :smile: i know a 3=4, but it would take too long to type up, because of powers and fraction. let me know if someone *really* wants to see it. :wink:
