Lauren has a bow that can shoot arrows at speeds of 0.3c. She is travelling across the Great Sandy Desert to her next archery competition on an ultrafast train that moves at a speed of 0.5c. She has set up to practise on the train with a target that is 150 m away from her in the same direction that the train is travelling.

Greg is standing on a platform as the train travels by.

  1. (a) What is the time between the events “Lauren shoots arrow” and “arrow hits target” for Lauren?

  2. (b) How far is Lauren from the target as measured by Greg?

  3. (c) When Lauren shoots an arrow, what is its speed as measured by Greg?

  4. (d) Do either Greg or Lauren measure the proper time between the events described in (a)? Explain your answer.

  5. (e) How long does it take for the arrow to reach the target as measured by Greg?

An archer can hit the bullseye on 30% of her shots. She shoots 5 arrows. Let the variable x represent the number of arrows that hit the bullseye. a) Using the formula (not the distributions on the TI84) find the probability that X=3. b) Write out the probability distribution for X and draw the histogram. c) Find the probability that X is less than 3. d) Find the mean, variance, and standard of X.

A housewife is testing the cutting speeds of 4 brands of knives she has at home. She chose 5 cutting materials of varying degree at home. Each material was cut once by each one of the 4 knives. (Hence after all 4 cuts the material was cut into 5 pieces). 1) Is this a randomized block design or two factor design? If random block design, what is used as the block? If two factor design, what are the two factors...

Sophia Martin wants to travel around the world. Sophia has three options she can pursue: she could continue to work full time to earn the money she needs for her trip, she could work part time so that she can still earn some money but have the time necessary to complete her trip, or she could take full retirement so that she has all the time necessary to complete her trip.

Maria has $1 she can invest in two assets, A and B. A dollar invested in A has a 50-50 chance of returning 16 or 0 and a dollar invested in B has a 50-50 chance of returning 9 or 0. Marias utility over wealth is given by the function U(w) = ln(w + 1).(A) Suppose the assets returns are perfectly negatively correlated. That is, when A has a positive return, B returns nothing, and vice versa.1) Show that Maria...
