The local convection coefficient on a plate decreases as the thickness of the boundary layer grows along the plate. After transition from laminar to turbulent flow, the local convection coefficient becomes much larger, even though the boundary layer is much thicker. Explain why this is so.

Explain with a paragraph in a clear and straightforward manner, please.

When finding the minimum positive subsequence sum (mpss) for an array a = a0, a1, ....

When finding the minimum positive subsequence sum (mpss) for an array a = a0, a1, . . . , an−1 of integers, one can use the following divide-and-conquer algorithm. Divide the array into two equal subarrays aleft and aright, and recursively compute the mpss of both subarrays. Then compute the mpss, call if mpssmid, of any subsequence that crosses the boundary between aleft and aright. Finally, take the minimum positive value of the three answers. Answer the following questions pertaining to how mpssmid is computed.

5a. Step 1: compute the leftward (respectively rightward) sums of aleft (respectively, aright). For k = 1, . . . , n/2 provide an expression that gives the k th leftward sum LSk of aleft. Hint: LS1 = an/2.

5b. If every leftward sum is added to every rightward sum to form a boundary-crossing sum, then exactly how many boundary-crosing sums are formed? State the resulting running-time recurrence and running time, according to the Master Theorem.

5c. On the other hand, if the leftward and rightward sums are first sorted, then what is the most number of boundary-crossing sums that must be computed? Determine the boundary-crossing sums that are computed for the array a = 12, 43, −65, 76, −32, 81, 19, −95, 27, −43.

For this submission, you will be given a series of scenarios and small collections of data. You should plot the data or calculate probabilities using excel. Then, you will create your own real or hypothetical scenario to graph and explain.

Answer the following:

The mean temperature for the month of July in Boston, Massachusetts is 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Plot the following data, which represent the observed mean temperature in Boston over the last 20 years:

1998 72
1999 69
2000 78
2001 70
2002 67
2003 74

Is this a normal distribution? Explain your reasoning.

What is an outlier? Are there any outliers in this distribution? Explain your reasoning fully.

Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 76 in any given July?

Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 80 in any given July?

1). Grouse in Russia show a recessive mutation “short-tail” that causes problems in the control of direction when flying. In 2002 a survey of a large, freely interbreeding, population of 1,856 grouse revealed 142 with short tail feathers.

a)      What proportion of the grouse population would you expect to be heterozygous at the short-tail locus ?                                                 

b)     Where there is no mutation, migration or selection what percentage of the next generation would be homozygous dominants, heterozygotes and homozygous recessives?                                                         

c)           Due to rising affluence there was an increase in recreational grouse hunting. In a later survey of the grouse over some years it was found that a significant decrease had taken place in the population. In 2003 there were 2,861 grouse and in 2004 there were only 2,369 and all the surviving grouse had long tails. Support by calculation that this change would reflect greater vulnerability of short tail grouse to killing by hunters.                                                                                                                                                                                                       

d)     After further random mating of survivors what would be the percentage of homozygous dominants, heterozygotes and homozygous recessives expected in the next generation in the absence of any further hunting?
