Click For Summary
To solve the integral $$\int x\frac{2x}{1000^2}e^{-(x/1000)^2}dx$$ using the change of variable technique, the substitution $$u=(x/1000)^2$$ is appropriate, leading to $$du=2x/1000^2 dx$$. This substitution simplifies the integral, but the extra $$x$$ needs to be expressed in terms of $$u$$. By solving for $$x$$ from the substitution, you can rewrite the integral entirely in terms of $$u$$. This approach allows for a straightforward evaluation of the integral without the extra variable.

How would I apply the change of variable technique to solve the integral
$$\int x\frac{2x}{1000^2}e^{-(x/1000)^2}dx$$

w/ out the $$x$$ I used
$$u=(x/1000)^2$$ , and $$du=2x/1000^2$$

Now, I am calculating $$E(x)$$, and now sure how to deal w/ the extra $$x$$.

Thanks for any help!

The key is that substitution works both ways.

First, you let $u = \left(\frac{x}{1000}\right)^2$. So, what does that make $x$ equal to?
 
The standard _A " operator" maps a Null Hypothesis Ho into a decision set { Do not reject:=1 and reject :=0}. In this sense ( HA)_A , makes no sense. Since H0, HA aren't exhaustive, can we find an alternative operator, _A' , so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense? Isn't Pearson Neyman related to this? Hope I'm making sense. Edit: I was motivated by a superficial similarity of the idea with double transposition of matrices M, with ## (M^{T})^{T}=M##, and just wanted to see if it made sense to talk...
