The pressure p and volume v of a given mass of gas are connected by the relation

k=(p+a\v^2)(v-b)

where a, b, and k are constants.

Using the composite trapezoidal method, write a MatLab script to approximate the work done by the gas in expanding from an initial volume to a final volume. Express p in terms of v.

Where W = Integral (Pdv)

Let V be a vector space of dimension 1 over a field k and choose a fixed nonzero element voe V, which is therefore a basis. Let W be any vector space over k and let woe W be an arbitrary vector. Show that there is a unique linear transformation T: V → W such that T(v)= wo. [Hint: What must T(Avo) be?)

A stellar object that is at a great distance emits a stream of matter at velocity v towards an observer obliquely, forming an angle θ with the observation line. For the observer the jet appears to have been emitted laterally at speed V.
Show that for certain angles the speed measured by the observer may exceed the speed of light.

V = sin θ (1 / v - cos θ) −1

  1. Stacy and Leslie are playing a very simple gambling game. They toss a coin and Stacy wins if it comes up “heads” while Leslie wins if it comes up “tails.” After 12 hours of gambling, Leslie begins to suspect that Stacy has been cheating because Stacy has won more games. Leslie accuses Stacy, but Stacy pleads innocent and proposes to test Leslie’s claim by doing an experiment in which the coin is tossed 14 times.
  1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this experiment.
  2. If α = .01, what is the rejection region?
  3. They do the experiment and “heads” occurs 8 times. What can they conclude? What if heads comes up 12 times?
  4. Let’s assume that Stacy actually is cheating because she is using a coin that is biased to come up “heads” 55% of the time. What was the power of the experiment they did?
  5. Given the power of the experiment, was Stacy clever or stupid to propose it as a test to Stacy?

Setup labor 19,200
Material handling 14,640
Total $ 72,840

Required:

Consider a binary channel transmitting bits independently. Each bit is demodulated with a 0 corresponding to 0 volts and a 1 corresponding to 5 volts. Thus, the received random variable v is normally distributed with variance σ2 = 1 and mean μ = 0 or μ = 5. The demodulated voltage v is compared to a threshold τ to decide whether a bit is a 0 or 1, i.e., decide that a 1 was sent if v > τ and that a 0 was sent if v < τ. Bits are equally probable so that P ( μ = 0 ) = P ( μ = 5 ) = 1 / 2. Note that an error occurs either if a 0 was sent so that μ = 0 but v > τ and a 1 is decided or if a 1 was sent so that μ = 5 but v < τ and a 0 is decided. What are the conditional probabilities P ( v > τ | μ = 0 ) and P ( v < τ | μ = 5 )? What is the resulting probability of error? What value should one choose for τ to minimize the probability of error? If 1250 bytes (8 bits each) are sent, what is the expected number of errors?

Copy B–To Be Filed With Employee's FEDERAL Tax Return.
This information is being furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

The Bunges incurred the following expenses during their move from Maine to Nevada in January of 2016:

Cost of moving furniture $4,750
Travel (3,837 miles at $0.19) 729
Lodging en route 280
Meals en route 90
House-hunting trip before the move 750

The school district reimbursed Walter $500 for moving expenses. These are reflected on his W-2. Walter’s previous job, as a high school teacher in Maine, was only 5 miles from his home. Rebecca was unemployed prior to the move.

The Bunges own a ski condo located at 123 Buncombe Lane, Brian Head, UT 84719. The condo was rented for 185 days during 2016 and used by the Bunges for 15 days. Pertinent information about the condo rental is as follows:

Rental income $16,000
Mortgage interest reported on Form 1098 8,600
Homeowners' association dues 5,200
Utilities 1,000
Maintenance 3,880
Depreciation (assume fully depreciated) 0

The above amounts do not reflect any allocation between rental and personal use of the condo. The Bunges are active managers of the condo.

Required:

Complete the Bunge's federal tax return for 2016. Use Form 1040, Schedule E, Form 3903, and Form 8582 to complete their tax return.

If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0". Do not round any percentages. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar. If required, enter a "loss" as a negative number on the tax form. Do not enter deductions as negative numbers.

Note: Special instructions for Form 8582 - If required, use the minus sign to enter a "loss" as a negative number on the lines 1d, 4 and 16. However, per the instructions on the tax return, enter all numbers in Part II as positive amounts.
