Each potential participant on a TV show like “Jeopardy” is given three tests of skill, T1, T2, T3 and receives a number on each test: 0 if Fail and 15 if Pass. The results on the three tests are averaged.

a. Describe the elements of a suitable sample space and the random variable X which represents the potential participant’s average score.
b. Find the probability mass function of X if the tests are independent of each other and the probability of failing each test is given by P(failing T1) = .8, P(failing T2) = .6, P(failing T3) = .5.

A person wants to compare two participant’s scores from two different trust tests. Each participant comes from a population in which a different trust tests was administered to each group. The two Trust Tests are on different scales to measure participant trust in others. For both Trust Tests, higher values correspond to more trust in others. Group 1 (N = 15) was given Trust Test #1. Group 1's population has the following parameters: μ = 25; σ = 5. Group...

Given multiple conductors surrounding a finite volume each at a given potential, the Laplace Equation allows one to calculate the potential within the region and than of course the electric field as well as the induced surface charge densities on the conductors. Develop numerical solution methods to implement these solutions, develop visualization tools such as contour plots to show the internal potential and electric field lines. Focus on Cartesian geometries
