Q) The sin() function can be evaluated by the following infinite series:
x3
sin x = x -
3!
5!
Create an M-file to implement this formula so that it computed and displays
the values of sin(x) as each term in the series is added up to fifteenth order.
For each step, compute and display the percent relative error as following:
true – series approximation
%error
x 100%

Bad simulations Explain why each of the followingsimulations fails to model the real situation properly:a) Use a random integer from 0 through 9 to representthe number of heads when 9 coins are tossed.
b) A basketball player takes a foul shot. Look at a ran-dom digit, using an odd digit to represent a good shot
and an even digit to represent a miss.c) Use random numbers from 1 through 13 to represent thedenominations of the cards in a five-card poker hand.
For f(x) = 3 + 7x − 19x^2 + 2x^4, use complete Horner’s algorithm to find
(a) the Maclaurin series (Taylor series about x = 0)
(b) the Taylor series for this function about x = 2.

- Use the RAND function and the Copy command to generate 100 random numbers. a. What fraction of the random numbers are smaller than 0.5? b. What fraction of the time is a random number less than 0.5 followed by a random number greater than 0.5? c. What fraction of the random numbers are larger than 0.8? d. Freeze these random numbers. However, instead of pasting them over the original random numbers, paste them onto a new range. Then press the F9 recalculate key. The original random numbers should change, but the pasted copy should remain the same.arrow_forwardThe method for rating teams in Example 7.8 is based on actual and predicted point spreads. This method can be biased if some teams run up the score in a few games. An alternative possibility is to base the ratings only on wins and losses. For each game, you observe whether the home team wins. Then from the proposed ratings, you predict whether the home team will win. (You predict the home team will win if the home team advantage plus the home teams rating is greater than the visitor teams rating.) You want the ratings such that the number of predictions that match the actual outcomes is maximized. Try modeling this. Do you run into difficulties? (Remember that Solver doesnt like IF functions.) EXAMPLE 7.8 RATING NFL TEAMS9 We obtained the results of the 256 regular-season NFL games from the 2015 season (the 2016 season was still ongoing as we wrote this) and entered the data into a spreadsheet, shown at the bottom of Figure 7.38. See the file NFL Ratings Finished.xlsx. (Some of these results are hidden in Figure 7.38 to conserve space.) The teams are indexed 1 to 32, as shown at the top of the sheet. For example, team 1 is Arizona, team 2 is Atlanta, and so on. The first game entered (row 6) is team 19 New England versus team 25 Pittsburgh, played at New England. New England won the game by a score of 28 to 21, and the point spread (home team score minus visitor team score) is calculated in column J. A positive point spread in column J means that the home team won; a negative point spread indicates that the visiting team won. The goal is to determine a set of ratings for the 32 NFL teams that most accurately predicts the actual outcomes of the games played.arrow_forwardIn Continuous manufacturing system, we need: Unskilled labours and special machine tools Special purpose machines and Skilled labours Highly skilled labours and special machine tools Unskilled labours and semi automatic machinesarrow_forward

Suppose further that you come across a policy which states that facilities with fewer than 100 beds are not required to hire licensed workers, while those with over 100 beds are required to hire licensed workers. Suppose further you assume that facilities with fewer than 100 beds are similar to facilities with just over 100 beds (as if it is random which facilities fall on which side of the threshold). Given this description, the most straightforward method you can use to identify the causal effect of licensing requirement on quality of care is: Difference-in-differences (diff-in-diff) Instrumental variables (IV) Regression discontinuity design (RDD)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is/are linear function(s) of x, y, z? 2x A. y B.
