1. A manufacturer of scientific instruments produces thermometers that measure the freezing point of water (0 degrees Centigrade). Tests on a large sample have found that some readings are too low (negative values) and some are too high (positive values). If the frequency of a malfunctioning thermometer follows a standard normal distribution. Generate the normal distribution and the cumulative distribution for the thermometer reading in 0.01 degree Centigrade units, including 3 standard deviations on each side of the mean. Graph both of the distribution. Find each of the following probabilities. a) If a thermometer is picked at random, find the probability that, at the freezing level of water, the reading is between 0° and 1.58°.

You wish to drive from point A to point B along a highway minimizing the time that you are stopped for gas. You are told beforehand the capacity C of you gas tank in liters, your rate F of fuel consumption in liters/kilometer, the rate r in liters/minute at which you can fill your tank at a gas station, and the locations A = x1, ··· , B = xn of the gas stations along the highway. So if you stop to fill your tank from 2 liters to 8 liters, you would have to stop for 6/r minutes. Consider the following two algorithms: (a) Stop at every gas station, and fill the tank with just enough gas to make it to the next gas station. (b) Stop if and only if you don’t have enough gas to make it to the next gas station, and if you stop,fill the tank up all the way. For each algorithm either prove or disprove that this algorithm correctly solves the problem. Your proof of correctness must use an exchange argument.
In a place called BW is well known for its weather. The weather condition is not extreme at all and many people want to migrate there only for the characteristic of the place. it rains on one fourth of the days. The local evening newspaper attempts to predict whether or not it will rain the following day. Three quarters of rainy days and four fifths of dry days are correctly predicted by the previous evenings paper. Given that this evenings paper predicts rain, what is the probability that it will actually rain tomorrow?

a)A thief robbing a store finds 5 items; the items are worth 8,10,7,20 and 11 dollars and weights 2,3,2,7 and 7 pounds. He wants to take as valuable a load as possible, but he can carry at most 9 pounds in his knapsack. What is the maximum worth of items that he can take? b) What if the thief somehow managed to increase the capacity of his knapsack by 2 pounds? What will be the maximum worth of items that he can take then?
A triangle ABC having coordinates A(5,5), B(10,3), C(7,10) is to be scaled two times in x direction and three times in y direction with respect to point A. Find the new coordinates of triangle A’B’C’.
We are given that the incubation time is normally distributed with a mean of 35 days and standard deviation of 2 days. Therefore, ? = and ? = .We wish to determine how many of the 10,000 eggs can be expected to hatch in 31 to 39 days. Since 35 − 31 = 4, 31 days is located standard deviations to the left of the mean. Similarly, 39 days is located standard deviations to the right of the mean.
(Numerical analysis) Here’s a challenging problem for those who know a little calculus. The Newton-Raphson method can be used to find the roots of any equation y(x)=0. In this method, the (i+1)stapproximation,xi+1,toarootofy(x)=0 is given in terms of the ith approximation, xi, by the following formula, where y’ denotes the derivative of y(x) with respect to x: xi+1=xiy(xi)/y(xi) For example, if y(x)=3x2+2x2,theny(x)=6x+2 , and the roots are found by making a reasonable guess for a first approximation x1 and iterating by using this equation: xi+1=xi(3xi2+2xi2)/(6xi+2) a. Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the two roots of the equation 3x2+2x2=0. (Hint: There’s one positive root and one negative root.) b. Extend the program written for Exercise 6a so that it finds the roots of any function y(x)=0, when the function for y(x) and the derivative of y(x) are placed in the code.
This is a Computer Graphics Question on Phong's Lighting Model. Question: A light source with intensity 50 and radius of influence 100 is located at (4,2,93) from which you are called to calculate the illumination of a point on the yz plane. For no shiny surface and negligible ambient light, find the point on the surface with the highest illumination and light intensity at that point. Given the diffuse coefficient is 0.7.
