Chapter 3.3, Problem 9E
The density of a rock will be measured by placing it into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water, and then measuring the volume of water displaced. The density D is given by D = m/(V1 – V0), where m is the mass of the rock, V0 is the initial volume of water, and V1 is the volume of water plus rock. Assume the mass of the rock is 750 g, with negligible uncertainty, and that V0 = 500.0 ± 0.1 mL and V1 = 813.2 ± 0.1 mL. Estimate the density of the rock, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

I need help on filling out this following table for statistics. Please help me find the chi squared value as well It has been suggusted that the highest priority of retirees is travel. Thus, a study was conducted to investigate the differences in the length of stay of a trip for pre- and post-retirees. A sample of 714 travelers were asked how long they stayed on a typical trip. The observed results of the study are found below. You may round all answers for this problem to the nearest hundredth. To import data to R, copy and paste the R codes below number=c(rep("4-7",421),rep("8-13",154),rep("14-21",88),rep("22_or_more",51)) retirement=c(rep("pre-retirement",248),rep("post-retirement",173),rep("pre-retirement",79),rep("post-retirement",75),rep("pre-retirement",36),rep("post- retirement",52),rep("pre-retirement",11),rep("post-retirement",40)) data=data.frame(number,retirement) table(data) With this information, construct a table of estimated expected values.

The purpose of this problem is to solve the Black-Scholes PDE with analytical techniques,
which will lead us back to the Black-Scholes formula. The technique is very similar to the
one used with the Feynman-Kac formula back in MATH 467.
Let's consider the PDE given by

(x-K)+. The solution f(t, x) corresponds to the price
of a call option (given the initial condition) at time t if the stock price is x.
(a) The first two things that prevent us from solving this PDE directly are
(i) the fact that we have a terminal condition, instead of an initial condition;
(ii) the terms in front of the derivatives are not constant.
To address these, we use the transformation g(t, x) = ƒ(T − t,e³), equivalent to
f(t, x) = g(T-t, log(x)). Under this condition, determine the PDE and the initial
condition satisfied by g.
(b) Now, the PDE obtained in (a) should have an initial condition and constant coeffi-
cients, but it still…

Instead of testing them separately, 15 runners simultaneously wear Brand A on the left foot and Brand B on the right foot during training runs. The runner continues training as usual and tracks how many kilometers each shoe lasts before showing significant wear (e.g., loss of cushioning, outsole damage). Since both shoes experience the same runner, terrain, and conditions, any lifespan difference can be attributed to the shoe brand rather than external factors. Test whether Brand A running shoes have a significantly shorter lifespan than Brand B when worn under the same conditions by the same runner.
