A particle moves so that \({\bf r}\), its displacement from a fixed origin at time \(t\), is given by \[{\bf r} = \l \sin{2t} \r {\bf i} + \l 2\cos t \r \bf{j}\,,\] where \(0 \le t < 2\pi\).
Solution:
Solution:
The random variable \(X\) has mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\). The distribution of \(X\) is symmetrical about \(\mu\) and satisfies: \[\P \l X \le \mu + \sigma \r = a \mbox{ and } \P \l X \le \mu + \tfrac{1}{ 2}\sigma \r = b\,,\] where \(a\) and \(b\) are fixed numbers. Do not assume that \(X\) is Normally distributed.
Solution:
The random variable \(X\) can take the value \mbox{\(X=-1\)}, and also any value in the range \mbox{\(0\le X <\infty\,\)}. The distribution of \(X\) is given by \[ \P(X=-1) =m \,, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \P(0\le X\le x) = k(1-\e^{-x})\,, \] for any non-negative number \(x\), where \(k\) and \(m\) are constants, and \(m <\frac12\,\).
