Problem 12E A cord is wrapped around the rim of a solid uniform wheel 0.250 m in radius and of mass 9.20 kg. A steady horizontal pull of 40.0 N to the right is exerted on the cord, pulling it off tangentially from the wheel. The wheel is mounted on frictionless b

Probability and Statistical Inference 9
(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

Let \(m\) denote the median weight of 80-pound bags of water softener pellets. Use the following random sample of \(n=14\) weights to find an approximate 95% confidence interval for \(m\): \(\begin{array}{lllllll} 80.51 & 80.28 & 80.40 & 80.35 & 80.38 & 80.28 & 80.27 \\ 80.16 & 80.59 & 80.56 & 80.32

Problem 23P At t = 0, a 755-g mass at rest on the end of a horizontal spring (k = 124 N/m) is struck by a hammer, which gives the mass an initial speed of 2.96 m/s. Determine (a) the period and frequency of the motion, (b) the amplitude, (c) the maximum acceleration, (d) the position as a function of

Using Figure 177 as a starting point, suppose the initial utility-maximizing spending on special education is $5 rather than $25. As before, the lump-sum conditional grant for special education is $20. The income elasticity of demand for special education is 1.0. a. Show the response of the median ho
