Or is that rebi? Like conjugating a Latin noun.

What do they say? That is a whole nutter question.

Mark:

TREES
102 Cool
51 on each side of the avenue

I think we can all agree that while a fence would require 51. An avenue by definition would require trees on both sides. Laughing


NAME
Frances - France - franc Cool

PAWALKRK

The prof's body temperature is given by
from
dT/ΔT=-Cp*t and the initial condition (t=0) that ΔT=28ºT then
ΔT=28exp(-Cp*t)
Where ΔT is the temperature difference between the body and the room
Cp is the body heat loss constant
T is the time since death
@ 9:00AM ΔT=10ºF
@ 10:00AM ΔT=8ºF

so
10=28exp(-Cp*t) and 8=28exp(-Cp(t+1)) so Cp=ln(10/8)
going back to the body temp @ 9:00AM
t = ln(10/28)/ln(8/10)=4.614 hrs.

so the prof bought the chalk at about 4:30AM Cool : Cool Cool and your studying til 12:00 midnight alibi needs some serious improvement. Laughing

Check
ΔT@9:00AM is about 28exp[-ln(10/8)*4.5]=10.25ºF
ΔT@ 10:00AM is about 28exp[-ln(10/8)*5.5]=8.20ºF



If it takes Mark 20 hours to paint a house and it takes Rap 30 hours, how long will it take if they work together yet independently Question




Country x is planning to attack country y, and country y is anticipating the attack. Country x can either attack by land or by sea. Country y can either prepare for a land defense or a sea defense. Both countries must choose either an all land or all sea strategy, they may not divide their forces. The following are the probabilities of a successful invasion according to both strategies used.

If x launches an attack by sea and y prepares a defense by sea the probability of a successful invasion is 80%.

If x launches an attack by sea and y prepares a defense by land the probability of a successful invasion is 100%.

If x launches an attack by land and y prepares a defense by land the probability of a successful invasion is 60%.

If x launches an attack by land and y prepares a defense by sea the probability of a successful invasion is 100%.

What should the strategy of country x be, assuming the goal is to maximize the probability of a successful invasion Question

Assume the goal of country y to be to minimize the probability of a successful invasion. What is the final probability of a successful invasion assuming both utilize an optimal strategy Question

You and your partner in crime are both arrested and questioned separately. You are offered a chance to confess, in which you agree to testify against you partner, in exchange for all charges being dropped against you, unless he testifies against you also. Your lawyer, whom you trust, says that the evidence against both of you, if neither confesses, is scant and you could expect to take a plea and each serve 3 years. If one implicates the other, the other can expect to serve 20 years.

If both implicate each other you could each expect to serve 10 years. You assume the probability of your partner confessing is p. Your highest priority is to keep yourself out of the pokey, and your secondary motive is to keep you partner out. Specifically you are indifferent to you serving x years and your partner serving 2x years.

At what value of p are you indifferent to confessing and not confessing Question

Pronounced differently but spelled the same
I have many meanings from obscure to mundane
In a trip across water I get there before you
In precipitation amazing, a marvel to awe you
One naming of me means to acknowledge the praise

Taught to children of all ages , or trip up they would
I was also much favoured by a notorious Hood.

Only three words in standard English begin with the letters "dw."
They are all common.

[size=8]PAINT
T/20 + T/30 = 1
5T = 60
T = 12

INVASION
We're looking for an equilibrium.
Xs is the frequency of attacking by sea
Ys is the frequency of defending the sea

From X's perspective:
if Y defends the sea, the payout is .8Xs + (1-Xs)
if Y defends the land, the payout is Xs + .6(1-Xs)

Since we're looking for an equilibrium, these must be equal.
Therefore:
.8Xs + (1-Xs) = Xs + .6(1-Xs)
Xs = 2/3

From Y's perspective:
if X attacks by sea, the payout is -.8Ys - (1-Ys)
if X attacks by land, the payout is -Ys - .6(1-Ys)

Again, these must be equal.
Therefore:
-.8Ys - (1-Ys) = -Ys - .6(1-Ys)
Ys = 2/3

They should each roll a die, and attack/defend by/the sea if they roll greater than a 2.

The probability of a successful invasion is:
(.8 * 2/3 * 2/3) + (1 * 1/3 * 2/3) + (1 * 2/3 * 1/3) + (.6 * 1/3 * 1/3)
= 16/45 + 10/45 + 10/45 + 3/45
= 39/45
= 13/15
