Homework
All sections have the same homework during weeks 1-10. Biochem
homework will be different in weeks 11-12.
- Homework is due at the beginning of class. The last homework in the semester
will be due Tuesday morning 11 AM latest in the mailbox of the CA.
- Please staple your homework.
- No late homework accepted but will delete the least 3 scores
for MWF sections and 2 for TTh sections.
Reserve these 3 "Joker" cards for emergencies.
- Collaborations are welcome however you must turn in your
own copy and list on it the names of your collaborators.
|
- Please write legibly and indicate clearly, where a new problem starts.
- Try to keep the problems in order.
- Use words to explain your work, if necessary. Show your work.
- If unable to finish a problem, indicate where you are
stuck. This will help us to give partial credit.
- Please infom about typos, misprints. We state here corrections
to the in class distributed texts as well as to the posted solutions.
Each hint gives you a bonus point. The texts posted here are corrected.

Problem A: The global positioning system GPS is based on the fact
that a receiver can easily find the difference of distances
to two satellites (each GPS satellite sends periodically signals which
are triggered by an atomic clock. While the distance to each satellite
is not known, the difference from the distances to two satellites can be determined from
the time delay of the two signals. The receiver does not need an atomic clock).
Given two satellites P=(2,0,0), Q= (0,0,0) in
space. Identity the quadric, whose distance to P is by 1 larger than
the distance to Q. How many GPS satellites does your GPS receiver have to "see"
in space so that it can determine the position?
Problem B: Find the surface whose points have the property that
the distance to the x-axes is half the distance to the parametrized line
r(t) = (1,0,0) + t (0,0,1).

Monty Hall Problem : A contestant plays the following game. He or
she is presented with three doors. Behind one door is a prize and
behind the other two doors are goats. We assume that the contestant
refers the prize to the goat. The contestant picks a door behind
which he or she expects to find the prize. Monty Hall, the game show
host (who knows where the prize is), opens one of the two other
unpicked doors, revealing a goat. The contestant is now given the
option of switching his or her choice to the other closed door.
(a) Should the contestant switch?
(b) What if Monty Hall does not know where the prize is but picked a
random door which happened to have a goat beind it?
2. Class:
(1) Three cards are chosen from three different decks. What is the
probability of getting at least one spade?
(2) In a poker hand, John has a very strong hand and bets 5 dollars.
The probability that Mary has a better hand is .04. If Mary had a
better hand she would raise with probability .9, but with a poorer
hand she would only raise with probability .1. If Mary raises, what
is the probability that she has a better hand than John does?
(3) When playing bridge, what is the probability that each of the
four players receives an ace? Why is the following argument wrong?
"It does not matter where the first ace goes. The second ace must go
to one of the other three players and this occurs with probability
3/4. Then the next must go to one of two, an event of probability
1/2, and finally the last ace must go to the player who does not have
an ace. This occurs with probability 1/4. The probability that all
these events occur is the product (3/4)(1/2)(1/4) = 3/32."
(4) Let U, V be random numbers chosen independently from the interval
[0, 1]. Find the probabity density, distribution function, expected
value and variance of the following random variables.
(a) Y = max(U, V ).
(b) Y = min(U, V ).
