Probability and Statistical Inference 9
(Michigan Mathematics Prize Competition, 1992, Part II) From the set \(\{1,2,3, \ldots, n\}\), \(k\) distinct integers are selected at random and arranged in numerical order (from lowest to highest). Let \(P(i, r, k, n)\) denote the probability that integer \(i\) is in position \(r\). For example, ob

Imagine that this world is perfectly rigid, uniform, and spherical and is spinning about its usual axis at its usual rate. A huge mountain of mass 10-8 earth masses is now added at colatitude 60, causing the earth to begin the free precession described in Section 10.8. How long will it take the North

Radio station call signs, II Refer to Exercise 8.39. By 1922, there were more applications for radio station licenses than the number of three-letter call signs available. A radio station in New Orleans applied for and was granted the call sign WAAB. (a) How many four-letter call signs start with the

Let X1, X2,... be the annual rainfalls in Boston (measured in inches) in the years 2101, 2102, . . . , respectively. Assume that annual rainfalls are i.i.d. draws from a continuous distribution. A rainfall value is a record high if it is greater than those in all previous years (starting with 2101),

Quantitative Chemical Analysis 8
Consider the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.082 30 M KI with 0.051 10 M AgNO3. Calculate pAg at the following volumes of added AgNO3: (a) 39.00 mL; (b) Ve; (c) 44.30 mL.

Biology 2e by Openstax
Figure 14.10 In eukaryotic cells, DNA and RNA synthesis occur in a separate compartment from protein synthesis. In prokaryotic cells, both processes occur together. What advantages might there be to separating the processes? What advantages might there be to having them occur together?
