Questions
1. (a) how many ways are there to choose 7 objects from 13? (5 marks)
> choose(13,7)
[1] 1716
> factorial(13)/(factorial(6)*factorial(7))
[1] 1716
(b) how many ways are there to arrange 12 objects? (5 marks)
> factorial(12)
[1] 479001600
> 1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*11*12
[1] 479001600
(c) If a classroom has 25 children in it, how many ways are there to choose four children? (5 marks)
> choose(25,4)
[1] 12650
> factorial(25)/(factorial(21)*factorial(4))
[1] 12650
(d) If you have 30 children, then how many ways are there to put them into three classes of 10 each? (hint: Figure out how many ways are there to choose 10 children for the first class; and then multiply this by the number of ways of choosing 10 children for the second class) (10 marks)
> choose(30,10)*choose(20,10)
[1] 5.550997e+12
> (factorial(30)/(factorial(20)*factorial(10)))*(factorial(20)/(factorial(10)*factorial(10)))
[1] 5.550997e+12 (e) [harder] A manufacturer of widgets makes 10 widgets. Four com- panies wish to buy widgets; company A wishes to buy 4 widgets, company B wishes to buy 3 widgets, C buys 2 and company D buys one widget. How many ways can the manufacturer distribute the
10 widgets amongst the customers so each one recieves the correct number of widgets? (10 marks)
> choose(10,4)*choose(6,3)*choose(3,2)
[1] 12600
> (factorial(10)/(factorial(6)*factorial(4)))*(factorial(6)/(factorial(3)*factorial(3)))*(factorial(3)/(factorial(1)*factorial(2)))
[1] 12600
2. Here are some numbers: x mean(x)
[1] 10
> sum(x)/length(x)
[1] 10
(b) what is their mode? (5 marks)
> table(x) x 9 10 15 5 1 1
9 is their mode.
9 occur more often than any other number (five times).
(c) what is their median? (5 marks)
> median(x)
[1] 9
> sort(x)
[1] 9 9 9 9 9 10 15
> sort(x)[4]
[1] 9
(d) state why the mode is a poor representative value for this dataset
(10 marks)
9 is away from central tendency.
9 is at the extreme of the dataset.
(e) suppose, instead, that the numbers were x mean(x)
[1] 142857142865
> sum(x)/length(x)
[1] 142857142865
> median(x)
[1] 9
> sort(x)
[1] 9e+00 9e+00 9e+00 9e+00 9e+00 1e+01 1e+12
> sort(x)[4]
[1] 9
> table(x) x 9 10 1e+12 5 1 1
9 is mode.
Reason: because 1e12 is the highest number.
Mean is much larger because the mean is sensitive to the outlier of 1e12.
3. Suppose X is drawn from a standard normal distribution, mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
(a) What is the probability of X being less than 1.8? Give an R expres- sion and a numerical value to 7 signicant figures. (10 marks)
> pnorm(1.8)
[1] 0.9640697
> table(rnorm(1e6)1.9) to give and why? (5 marks)
Expect about 1e6*pnorm(1.9)[ie
Reason: We should expect about 971283 to be true. table(rnorm(1e6)>1.9) is close enough to our expectation.
> pnorm(1.9)
[1] 0.9712834
> 0.9712834*1e6
[1] 971283.4
> table(rnorm(1e6) dbinom(5,15,0.35)
[1] 0.2123387
> choose(15,5)*0.35^5*0.65^10
[1] 0.2123387
> table(rbinom(1e6,15,0.35)==5) FALSE TRUE
787498 212502
(c) What is the probability that the experiment succeeds more than 7 times? [that is, what is the probability that `r' is greater than or equal to 7?] Give a numerical value. (5 marks)
> 1-pbinom(7,15,0.35)
[1] 0.1132311
> sum(dbinom(8:15,15,0.35))
[1] 0.1132311
> table(rbinom(1e6,15,0.35)>=7) FALSE TRUE
754766 245234
(d) [harder] Use the Gaussian approximation to estimate the probability using pnorm() (5 marks)
> pnorm(7,5.25, 1.847295)
[1] 0.828265
In binomial distribution, (n=15,p=0.35,r=7)

problems we are using compound interest, and with the others problem we will be dividing two polynomials. Although in this paper I will discuss the steps I am going to use to solving these problems. Although with the following formula I will use P (1 + r/2) ^2. Even though with these fact, they will have an exponent, and we must remove this exponent in order to get an accurate answer. Now we will set the formula up as (1 + r/2) * (1 + r/2). Because when we use the FOIL method we will be using the multiplication…

law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Using a voltmeter and ammeter to measure the voltage drop and the current flowing through each of the resistors the following results were obtained. From these values the value of each resistor was calculated using Ohm’s law V=IR. R1 | 43.75 | | V1 | | 3.5 | I1 | | 0.08 | | | R2 | 43.75 | | V2 | | 3.5 | I2 | | 0.08 | | | | | | | | |…

Complex Number and Cartesian Form Essay

engineers were already using the symbol “i” to represent current – so they changed the symbol for √(-1)from i to j. Nowadays, mathematicians still use i for imaginary numbers while electrical engineers prefer to use j to avoid confusion. 10 Cartesian (X-Y or Rectangular) Coordinates • Complex numbers can be thought of as two dimensional numbers since the real part and imaginary part are separate. We can plot complex numbers graphically in a two dimensional complex plane using Cartesian (x-y rectangular)…

consumes less environmental resources. So what does the R-Value have to do with this? The R-value of a substance is its direct measure of its resistance to transferring energy or heat; R Values are expressed using the metric units (m2.K/W). Basically the higher the figure the better it is at resisting energy transfer, so the easier it is to maintain a difference in temperatures across it for a longer time. In the metric system, the R value measures per meter squared the amount of degrees kelvin…

Lab 1 The Determination of R Essay

The Determination of R: The Gas-Law Constant Izabella D’Onofrio Conducted on: January 24, 2015 Abstract An experiment was performed to determine “R”, the gas-law constant, using both the ideal gas law equation and the van der Waals equation. An ideal gas is considered a hypothetical gas whose pressure, volume, and temperature behavior correlates to the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT (Brown, et al. 2012). Using an apparatus involving a test tube and large beaker with rubber stoppers and…
