For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (cl

Let Y1, Y2, Y3,... Yn be independent standard normal random variables. a What is the distribution of n i=1 Y 2 i ? b Let Wn = 1 n n i=1 Y 2 i . Does Wn converge in probability to some constant? If so, what is the value of the constant?

Molecular Biology of the Cell 6
The four core histones are relatively small proteins with a very high proportion of positively charged amino acids; the positive charge helps the histones bind tightly to DNA, regardless of its nucleotide sequence.
