Question

Transcribed Image Text:24. Consider a system made up of two spin particles. Observer A
specializes in measuring the spin components of one of the particles
(S, Sı, and so on), while observer B measures the spin components of
the other particle. Suppose the system is known to be in a spin-singlet
state, that is, Stotal = 0.
a. What is the probability for observer A to obtain s1 h/2 when
observer B makes no measurement? Same problem for s1, = h/2.
b. Observer B determines the spin of particle 2 to be in the s2, = h/2
state with certainty. What can we then conclude about the outcome
of observer A's measurement if (i) A measures S1; and (ii) A
measures s,? Justify your answer.

Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: y USE SALT 2= Σχ = 15; Σy = 88.3; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,594.89; Σxy = 275.8 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line.
