6.1.5. Problem. Let J be the open unit interval (0, 1). For each a let Ua = ?a, a + 1 ?, and let
U = {Ua : 0 ≤ a ≤ 34 }. Then certainly U covers J .
(a) Find a finite subfamily of U which covers J.
(b) Explain why a solution to (a) does not suffice to show that J is compact.
(c) Show that J is not compact.

Problem 3. Consider the unit interval [0, 1], and let ξ be fixed real number with ξ ∈ (0, 1) (note that the case ξ = 1/3 corresponds to the regular Cantor set we learned in our lectures). In stage 1 of the construction, remove the centrally situated open interval in [0, 1] of length ξ. In stage 2 remove the centrally situated open intervals each of relative length ξ (i.e. if the interval has length a you remove an...

1) Let U1, U2, ... be independent random variables, each uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1]. These random variables represent successive bigs on an asset that you are trying to sell, and that you must sell by time = t, when the asset becomes worthless. As a strategy, you adopt a secret number \Theta and you will accept the first offer that's greater than \Theta . The offers arrive according to a Poisson process with rate \lambda = 1....
