In 1938, a physicist named Frank Benford discovered that the number 1 appears in the first
digit of random data more often than the number 2, the number 2 more often than the number 3
and so on. In general, the probability of occurrence of the first digit of a number can be written in
the form of a probability function

- In this problem we will cover some basic probability theory as an application of integration. We will consider a random variable X, for example the height of a randomly chosen person in our class. Given real numbers a, b, there is a function f called the probability density function such that the probability that X is in the interval (a, b) is equal to P(a < X < b) = | s(12)dæ. The hydrogen atom is composed of one proton in the nucleus and one electron, which moves about the nucleus. In the quantum theory of atomic structure, it is assumed that the electron does not move in a well-defined orbit. Instead, it occupies a state known as an orbital, which may be thought of as a “cloud" of negative charge surrounding the nucleus. At the state of lowest energy, called the ground state, or 1s-orbital, the shape of this cloud is assumed to be a sphere centered at the nucleus. This sphere is described in terms of the probability density Sa?e-2#/a0, æ 2 0 p(x) x <0 where ao is the Bohr radius.…arrow_forwardRework problem 16 in section 4.2 of your text, involving drawing markers from a box of markers with ink and markers without ink.
