An individual possesses 5 umbrellas which he employs in going from his home to the office, and vice versa. If he is at home at the beginning of a day and it is raining, then he will take an umbrella with him to the office provided there is one to be taken. Similarly, if he is at the office and at the end of a day it is raining, he will take one to go home (provided there is one to be taken at the office). If it is not raining, then he never takes an umbrella. Assume that, independent of the past, it rains at the beginning or at the end of a day with probability 0.35.

(a)Define a Markov chain for this system by the construction of the one-step transition matrix (Hint: Define the states of the chain as the number of umbrellas the individual has in the place he is at (home or office). Assume that there is a transition each time he changes places (from home to the office or vice versa)

(b)Find the steady state probabilities, by the formulation of the steady state equations.

(c) What fraction of time does the man get wet? Justify your answer.

Part 1

Recall from Chapter 1 that computer memory is comprised of individual bits of data. A bit (short for binary digit) can store one of only two values, commonly referred to as 0 and 1. However, using two bits, you can represent four different values through the bit patterns 00, 01, 10, and 11. With three bits, you can represent eight different values—via 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111. In general, N bits of memory enable you to represent 2N different values.

Create a Web page named bits.html that contains a text box where the user can enter a number, call it N. At the click of a button, your page should compute and display 2N, the number of values that can be represented using the specified quantity of bits. For example, if the user entered 10 in the text box, the page would display the message:

With 10 bits, you can represent 1024 different values.

Once you have created your page, use it to determine the number of values that each of the following can represent (Test the following numbers to see if they give the correct results)

     8 bits (1 byte)

    16 bits (2 byte)

    32 bits (4 bytes)

    64 bits (8 bytes)

Part 2

Most lotteries select winning numbers by drawing numbered balls out of bins. For example, a typical Pick-4 lottery will utilize four bins, each containing balls with numbers starting at 0. If there are 10 balls to choose from in each of four bins, labeled 0 to 9, then 104 = 10,000 different number sequences can potentially be picked. Increasing the number of balls significantly increases the number of possible sequences, which significantly decreases a person’s odds of winning. For example, if there are 20 balls to choose from in each bin, labeled from 0 to 19, then 204 = 160,000 different number sequences could be selected.

Make a copy of the lucky1.html page from Figure 7.4 in your text and name it pick4.html. Then modify this new page so that it simulates a Pick-4 lottery. Your page should have one text box, where the user can enter the highest ball number (it is assumed that the lowest ball number is always 0). When a button is clicked, four random ball numbers should be selected and displayed in a message such as the following:

  The Pick-4 winners are: 5-0-8-2

Part 3

Modify your pick4.html page from above so that it makes use of a function in the HEAD. Your function should contain the code previously assigned to the button, and have a name descriptive of the task it performs, such as GeneratePicks or PickNumbers. You should then modify the button’s ONCLICK attribute to call that function.

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. a.   A certain college team has on its roster three centers,
four guards, four forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? [Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.]
b.   Now suppose the roster has 5 guards, 5 forwards, 3 centers, and 2 “swing players” (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the 15 players are randomly selected, what is the proba- bility that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup?

As you are considering the various functions of self, how might how we view ourselves impact how we view others? For example, in DQ1 we have been discussing biases and how easy it is to judge an individual by appearances. How do self-concept and self-perception influence our judgments of others? According to research conducted by Horton (2003), “The physical attractiveness stereotype (i.e., inferences regarding the sociability and integrity of the target) was contingent upon self-perception. Participants who rated themselves highly on attractiveness regarded attractive targets as more sociable (marginally so) and as having more integrity than did those participants who regarded themselves as less attractive” (p. 146).
