A point X is chosen randomly from the interval.
Showing that E(Y|X) = (1/2)(X+1) and E(Y) = 3/4 is straightforward. What I'd like to do is calculate E(Y^2) using E(Y^2|X)..... but I'm not sure how to do so: Y^2 is not uniformly distributed on
Any...
You have a coin, a pyramid, and a die. The coin has the numbers 1 and 2 on it, the pyramid has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 written on it, and the die has the usual 1 through 6 on it. An item is chosen at random and flipped/rolled. The coin has probability...
Suppose G has order 33. Show that it contains an element of order 3.
So G can contains elements of order 3,11, and 33. If G contains an element of order 33, then this will generate the whole group. So suppose G contains no element of order 33. Then...
... you accidentally misread "northern lights" as "noetherian lights" and start thinking about DCC.

I couldn't find an active Computer Science LJ and figured there were some CS students here =), so here goes:
I'm applying to computer science graduate schools, but I'm not sure what subfield (e.g., AI, Theory, Computer Architecture) to talk about in...
