Chapter 1.1, Problem 53E
In Exercise 53-62, do not try to solve each problem algebraically. Instead, make a guess that satisfies one or more conditions of the problem and then evaluate your guess, as we did in Example 7 keep adjusting your guesses until you have a solution that fits all the conditions of the problem.
The local historical society wants to preserve two buildings. The total age of the buildings is 321 years. If one building is twice as old as the other, what are the ages of the two buildings?

6. Let, for p = (0, 1), and xe R. X be a random variable defined as follows:
P(X=-x) = P(X = x)=p. P(X=0)= 1-2p.
Show that there is equality in Chebyshev's inequality for X.
This means that Chebyshev's inequality, in spite of being rather crude, cannot be
improved without additional assumptions.
4. Prove that, for any random variable X, the minimum of EIX-al is attained for
a = med (X).
8. Recall, from Sect. 2.16.4, the likelihood ratio statistic, Ln, which was defined
as a product of independent, identically distributed random variables with mean
1 (under the so-called null hypothesis), and the, sometimes more convenient,
log-likelihood, log L, which was a sum of independent, identically distributed
random variables, which, however, do not have mean log 1 = 0.
(a) Verify that the last claim is correct, by proving the more general statement,
namely that, if Y is a non-negative random variable with finite mean, then
E(log Y) log(EY).
(b) Prove that, in fact, there is strict inequality:
E(log Y) < log(EY),
unless Y is degenerate.
(c) Review the proof of Jensen's inequality, Theorem 5.1. Generalize with a
glimpse on (b).

The transport theorem for vectors shows that the time derivative can be constructed from two parts: the first is an explicit frame-dependent change of the vector whereas the second is an active rotational change of the vector. The same holds true for tensors. Starting from the previous result, derive a version of transport theorem for tensors.

Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 13 cookies.
