Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…

Normal Distribution

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a…

Apply Euler's method on the next differential equation with the initial initial value and in the given interval. You must include: a) table and b) graph.\\\[\frac{d y}{d x}=y^{2}-4 x, \quad y(0)=0.5 ; \quad 0 \leq x \leq 2, \quad \Delta x=0.25\]

7. Define the sequence {b} by bo = 0 Ել ։ = 2 8. bn=4bn-1-4bn-2 for n ≥ 2 (a) Give the first five terms of this sequence. (b) Prove: For all n = N, bn = 2nn. Let a Rsuch that a 1, and let nЄ N. We're going to derive a formula for Σoa without needing to prove it by induction. Tip: it can be helpful to use C1+C2+...+Cn notation instead of summation notation when working this out on scratch paper. (a) Take a a² and manipulate it until it is in the form Σ.a. i=0 (b) Using this, calculate the difference between a Σ0 a² and Σ0 a², simplifying away the summation notation. i=0 (c) Now that you know what (a – 1) Σ0 a² equals, divide both sides by a − 1 to derive the formula for a². (d) (Optional, just for induction practice) Prove this formula using induction.

3. Let A, B, and C be sets and let f: A B and g BC be functions. For each of the following, draw arrow diagrams that illustrate the situation, and then prove the proposition. (a) If ƒ and g are injective, then go f is injective. (b) If ƒ and g are surjective, then go f is surjective. (c) If gof is injective then f is injective. Make sure your arrow diagram shows that 9 does not need to be injective! (d) If gof is surjective then g is surjective. Make sure your arrow diagram shows that f does not need to be surjective!
