Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.4, Problem 25E

Explain how generating functions can be used to find the number of ways in which postage of r cents can be pasted on an envelope using 3-Cent, 4-cent, and

20-cent stamps.

a) Assume that the order the stamps are pasted on does not matter.

b) Assume that the order in which the stamps are pasted on matters.

c) Use your answer to part (a) to determine the number of ways 46 cents of postage can be pasted on an envelope using 3-cent, 4-cent, and 20-cent stamps when the order the stamps are pasted on does not matter. (Use of a computer algebra program is advised.)

d) Use your answer to part (b) to determine the number of ways 46 cents of postage can be pasted in a row on an envelope using 3-Cent, 4-cent, and 20-cent stamps when the order in which the stamps are pasted on matters. (Use of a computer algebra program is advised.)

Exercise 12.2. Let F be a field and n Є N. (1) For every subset S of F", show that I(S) := {f(x1, . ,xn) Є F[x1,...,xn] | f (a₁,, an) = 0, V(a1, ..., an) E S} is an ideal of the polynomial ring F[x1, ..., xn], called the vanishing ideal of S. (2) Given two subsets S and T of F", prove or disprove that I(SUT) = I(S)NI(T) · and I(SNT) = I(S) + I(T).
