Probability and Statistical Inference 9
In a smoking survey among boys between the ages of 12 and 17, \(78 \%\) prefer to date nonsmokers, \(1 \%\) prefer to date smokers, and \(21 \%\) dont care. Suppose seven such boys are selected randomly. Let \(X\) equal the number who prefer to date nonsmokers and \(Y\) equal the number who prefer to

By evaluating their dot product, find the values of the scalar s for which the two vectors b = x + s'Sr and c = x sS7 are orthogonal. (Remember that two vectors are orthogonal if and only if their dot product is zero.) Explain your answers with a sketch.

Physics: Principles with Applications 6
A heavy rainstorm dumps 1.0 cm of rain on a city 5 km wide and 8 km long in a 2-h period. How many metric tons (1 metric ton = 103 kg) of water fell on the city? [\(1\ \text{cm}^3\) of water has a mass of \(1\ \text{gram}=10^{-3}\ \text{kg}\).] How many gallons of water was this?

Dmw Lewis structures for each hypothetical molecule shown below, using the correct number of valence electrons for each atom. Determine which molecule makes sense because each atom has a complete valence shell and each bond has the correct number of electrons. Explain what makes the other molecules n

Heli-Segways for Workers Consider a region with 6 million workers and two cities (A and B), each with an initial workforce of 3 million (the utility-maximizing workforce). Suppose the heli-segway (a fl ying personal transporter) replaces the automobile, cutting commuting cost and increasing the utili
