Let a be an element of a finite group G. The order of a is the
least power k such that ak = e.
Find the orders of following elements in S5
a. (1 2 3 )
b. (1 3 2 4)
c. (2 3) (1 4)
d. (1 2) (3 5 4)
Let B be a finite commutative group without an element of order
2. Show the mapping of b to b2 is an automorphism of B. However, if
|B| = infinity, does it still need to be an automorphism?
Use this theorem to find the inverse of the given matrix or show
that no inverse exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE in
any cell.)

A review session is given in order to find if the group who
attends it has a better average than who doesn't. The grades are
organized into two independent groups and the data is obtained. The
mean and standard deviation of the 29 students who attended the
review session are 70.5 and 11.6 percent respectively. The mean and
standard deviation of the 14 students who did NOT attend the review
session are 64.6 and 16.1 percent respectively. In this problem,...
a) Compute the indicated quantity.
P(A | B) = .1, P(B) = .4. Find P(A ∩ B).
P(A ∩ B) =
b)Compute the indicated quantity.
P(A) = .1, P(B) = .2. A and B are independent. Find P(A ∩
B).
P(A ∩ B) =
c)Find the conditional probability of the indicated event when
two fair dice (one red and one green) are rolled. HINT [See Example
1.]
The red one is 1, given that the sum is 7.
