Let \(p(y)\) denote the probability function associated with a Poisson random variable with mean \(\lambda\) a. Show that the ratio of successive probabilities satisfies \(\frac{p(y)}{p(y-1)}=\frac{\lambda}{y}\), for \(y=1\), 2,.... b. For which values of is \(p(y)>p(y-1)\)? c. Notice that the resul

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?

Ester is walking to her chemistry class when she notices someone in the distance suddenly duck into a dark doorway. She is suspicious and starts to chase the figure, but misjudges the distance and accidentally runs into the door. She falls down but quickly recovers, and laughs when she discovers that

The Stork enamine reaction and the intramolecular aldol reaction can be carried out in sequence to allow the synthesis of cyclohexenones. For example, reaction of the pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone with 3-buten-2-one, followed by enamine hydrolysis and base treatment, yields the product indicat

Draw a vertical line through a normal distribution for each of the following z-score locations. Determine whether the tail is on the right or left side of the line and find the proportion in the tail. a. z = +1.00 b. z = +0.33 c. z = -0.10 d. z = -0.67

Urban Economics 8
Consider a state with a fixed prison capacity of 1,000. When a law is passed establishing a minimum term of 10 years, (twice the current average term), the state cuts the number of prisoners in half, cutting the probability of imprison- ment for crime in half. Use a graph like Figure 133 to illustrat

Principles of Economics 9
Command-and-control regulation may be better than a corrective tax if a. a corrective tax would have differential effects on different industries. b. some polluters can reduce emissions more cheaply than others. c. the negative externality is so large that the optimal quantity is zero. d. knowledge a
