Let \(p(y)\) denote the probability function associated with a Poisson random variable with mean \(\lambda\) a. Show that the ratio of successive probabilities satisfies \(\frac{p(y)}{p(y-1)}=\frac{\lambda}{y}\), for \(y=1\), 2,.... b. For which values of is \(p(y)>p(y-1)\)? c. Notice that the resul

Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH ) 3) is often present in antacids to neutralize stomach acid (HCl). The reaction occurs as follows: Al(OH ) 3(s) + 3HCl(aq) AlC l 3(aq) + 3 H 2O(l). If 14.0 g of Al(OH ) 3 is present in an antacid tablet, determine the theoretical yield of AlC l 3 produced when the tablet r

A typical prokaryotic cell has about 3,000 genes in its DNA, while a human cell has about 20,500 genes. About 1,000 of these genes are present in both types of cells. Based on your understanding of evolution, explain how such different organisms could have this same subset of genes. What sorts of fun

Consider a grey squirrel falling out of a tree to the ground. (a) If we ignore air resistance in this case (only for the sake of this problem), determine a squirrel's velocity just before hitting the ground, assuming it fell from a height of 3.0 m. (b) If the squirrel stops in a distance of 2.0 cm th
