Question 1

The volume of a cone can be determined by summing up the infinitesimal circular cross-sections of the cone across the length of the cone Consider the function f(x) = x2 for x contained in [0,1].

Now consider an infinitesimal circular cross-sectional element of width dx and radius r = f(x) Determine the volume of the cone enclosedby the function f(x) by considering the volume of each circular cross-sectional element (Recall thatthe sum of infinitesimal elements can be represented as an integral Recall also that the area of a

circle is

  • Question 3

    Identify which of the following statements is true,where X is a discrete random variable that exists over the domain [a. b], and F(x) is its distribution function.
    A)

    B)

  • Question 4

    Consider the three vectors:

    Determine which of (he vectors or combination of vectors shown in the options has the greatest magnitude
  • Question 5

    Identify which of the following statements are true.
    I.Skewness measures how peaked a set of data is
    II.Skewness is a measure of asymmetry of the distribution of the data about its mean.
    III. For a symmetrically distributed data, the mean equals the median but not necessarily the mode IV. The value of a measure of skewness can be positive, zero or negative.
