Classify each change as physical or chemical. (a) Sugar dissolves in hot water. (b) Sugar burns in a pot. (c) A metal surface becomes dull because of continued abrasion. (d) A metal surface becomes dull on exposure to air.

Mathematical Statistics with Applications 7
Let \(Y_{1}, Y_{2^{\prime} \ldots}, Y_{n}\) be independent, normal random variables, each with mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^{2}\). Let \(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}\) denote known constants. Find the density function of the linear combination \(U=\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{i} Y_{i}\). Equation Trans

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

Consider the effects of housing subsidies on the ?ltering process. As before, assume that each household tolerates up to a 10-unit mismatch between its ideal and the actual quality of housing. All new housing is built for high-income households. Upgrading housing to a higher quality level is prohibit

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
