(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

Problem 58P CALC A lunar lander is descending toward the moons surface. Until the lander reaches the surface, its height above the surface of the moon is given by y(t) = b - ct + dt2, where b = 800 m is the initial height of the lander above the surface, c = 60.0 m/s, and d = 1.05 m/s2. (a) What is

Baby birds Do birds learn to time their breeding? Blue titmice eat caterpillars. The birds would like lots of caterpillars around when they have young to feed, but they must breed much earlier. Do the birds learn from one years experience when to time their breeding next year? Researchers randomly as

A widely used weather instrument called a barometer can be built from a long, thin tube of glass that is sealed at one end. The tube is completely filled with mercury and then inverted into a small pool of mercury. The level of the mercury inside the tube drops initially but then stabilizes at some h
