Question 11 p303 A company buys 100 lightbulbs, each of which has an exponential lifetime of 1000 hours. What is the expected time for the first of these bulbs to burn out? In this question we are interested in the lifetime of an individual lightbulb. If \(\lambda\) represents the rate parameter of the distribution then the mean of the exponential ...

Question 1 A bag contains 5 green and 7 red jellybeans. How many ways can 5 jellybeans be withdrawn from the bag so that the number of green ones withdrawn will be less than 2? We use the formula: \[ C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} \] For this case, \(n = 7\) (total red jellybeans) and \(k = 5\) (jellybeans to be withdrawn), so: \[ C(7, 5) = \frac{7...

Five people get on an elevator that stops on five floors. Assuming that each has an equal probability of going to any one floor, find the probability that they all get off on different floors. Given: - The number of people \(n = 5\). - The number of floors \(n = 5\). The probability \(P\) that all five people get off on different floors is calculat...

Question 1 (Bayesian). A new test for multinucleoside-resistant (MNR) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants was recently developed. The test maintains 96% sensitivity, meaning that, for those with the disease, it will correctly report “positive” for 96% of them. The test is also 98% specific, meaning that, for those without the d...

Question 1, Page 12 Modify the program CoinTosses to toss a coin n times and print out after every 100 tosses the proportion of heads minus 1/2. Do these numbers appear to approach 0 as n increases? Modify the program again to print out, every 100 times, both of the following quantities: the proportion of heads minus 1/2, and the number of heads mi...

The below code finds the “eigenshoes” from a group of images of shoes. This process makes sense to me on a procedural level- we want to find the principal components that describe the majority (or 80%) of these shoes. I did get a little lost trying to follow along what the code was doing, but I will try my best to explain each step. library(doP...

Find the matrix representation of: T: \(T: C^3 -> C^4, T \left(\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} \right) = \begin{bmatrix} 3x + 2y +z \\ x + y + z \\ x-3y \\ 2x + 3y + z \end{bmatrix}\) The matrix on the right side can be written as: \(\begin{bmatrix} 3x \\ x \\ x \\ 2x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 2y \\ y \\ -3y \\ 3y \end{bmatrix} + \b...

Problem Set 1 1. What is the rank of the matrix A? A = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ -1 & 0 & 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 5 & 4 & -2 & -3 \\ \end{bmatrix}\) Answer: I will find the reduced row-echelon form in order to determine the rank. Here I will do it by hand and then use the RREF function from pracma to confirm. Add row 1 to row 2 A = \...
