Yes, j,k,a,b gives the same outputs, we have 4 rolls have the same outputs.

j,k,a,b are distinct indices, P (R_j,k and R_a,b) means j,k,a,bth rolls have the same outcomes

Want to make sure i understand. The order of rolls doesn't matter. They are pairwise independent. However, not mutually independent be because P (R_j,k , R_a,b) is 1/6^3 and P (R_j,k) is 1/6 with district indices j,k,a,b

If we let R_j,k be event that jth and kth rolls have the same outcome, then events R_j,k are't pairwise independent.

I mean _ _ _... I _ _ _..._ j _ _ _..._ _k... something like this.

Now , suppose we roll a die n times, would the probability that any ith, jth, kth, lth roll have the same outcomes still 1/6?

I see that already, we have 6/36* 6^3/6^3=1/6

I can have a combination of any 3 number of 6 if I understand correctly

I don't understand your second question. The probability of two rolls of a die are the same is 1/6

Homework Statement Roll a fair die 5 times, find the probability that the first two rolls have the same outcomes. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The total outcomes is 6^5, I think we have 6^2 * 6 choose 2 /6^5 since the first two numbers are fixed and we can choose 2 numbers...

Homework Statement Let Y_1,Y_2 be independent random variable with uniform distribution on the interval [1,2]. Define X=max{Y_1,Y_2}. Find p.d.f., expected value and variance. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Since $X=\max\{Y_1,Y_2\}$, this tells $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ must at most $x$...

I never learn how to draw a tree

I don't see how to draw probability tree.

Homework Statement It rains in a city with a chance of 0.4. The weather forecast is not always accurate. When there will be a rain the next day, the forecast predicts the rain with probability 0.8; When there is no rain, the forecast falsely predicts a rain with probability 0.1. You take your...

Hi, all. I am planning to apply REU for math this summer. This is my first time to write a personal statement, I am not sure how it is. Basically, my statement needs to answer why I want to apply this program and what my future goal is. Malcolm X said: “Education is our passport to the future...

Homework Statement Let F = {0,1,α,α+1}. Find all irreducible polynomials over F of degree at most 2. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution To determine an irreducible polynomial over F, I think it is sufficient to check the polynomial whether has a root(s) in F, So far, I got...

At x =0, we still have f'(0)=0?

let h(x)=(f(x)-f(0))/x, when x>0, h(x)<=0; when x<0, h(x)=>0; f(x) is bounded above and the supremum is at x = 0, so f'(0)=0

Homework Statement If the function f:ℝ→ℝ is differentiable and f(x)<=f(0) for all x ∈[-1,1], then f'(0)=0. True or False. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I think the statement is right. Since f(x)<= f(0) for all x in [-1,1], this tells us f is an even function or a symmetric...

Let f(x)=x, x is rational, f(x)=-x,x is irrational, the function is one to one,but it is jumping. Does this example apply?

Homework Statement A one to one function f: ℝ→ℝ is monotone, True or False Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I think the statement is false, for example: Let I =[0,1]∪[2,3] f(x)=x if x∈[0,1], f(x)=5-x,x∈[2,3]

Thank you for checking my answer and help me to understand the question in more detail

I am getting confusing about the question, the investment increased 0.4 in 3 years, and in this 3 years increasing by the same rate, that is how I understand the question.

I get 1.4

the investment is increasing at the same rate in 3 years, and we are looking for the rate,r. In order to get the value after 3 years which is already increase 40%, I think (1+r)^3 is the rate increase over 4 years. Thus, this would equal to 1+0.4

Homework Statement If an investment increased by 40% over 3 years and rose by the same percentage rate each of those years, what was the rate? Homework Equations new_value = old_value(1+r)^p The Attempt at a Solution Let value of the investment be 1000, then we have 1000(1+0.4) = 1000(1+r)^3...

108.257=100(1+0.09)(1+p),p=0.0068, seems not right for me

yes

For b, Lucy will rise the price by 0.08257?

I think I get it, 1 = 1.09(1+p), p = 0.08257

1 -1.09/1=0.09

0.09?

Homework Statement a. Lucy's Lunch and Latte has found that customers are put off by the local tourism tax of 9% that is added to their bill. If Lucy decides to cover the tax herself, rather than adding it to the customer's bill, what percent will the customer see in savings? b. Lucy decides...

That is a typo

Homework Statement S≡{x|x∈ℝ,x≥0,x2 < c} Prove Sup S = c Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Since x in the set real numbers, there are two cases for x: x < 1 or 0 <= x <=1 if 0 <= x <=1, then x < c + 1 since c is positive. if x < 1, then x^2 < c < x*c + x = x(c+1) thus x < c+1, by...

P (x)=x^4+1, we have p (0) mod 2 =1 and p (1)=2 which show p (x) is irreducible in Z_2, hence F_16 isomorphic with Z_2 [x]/p (x)

x^2-2, If I didn't make mistakes, p (x)=x^2 - 3

P (x) would be a maximal ideal and irreducible, I think x^3-x-1
