b) Of any 26 points within a rectangle measuring 20 cm by 15 cm, show that at least two are within 5 cm of each other.

Based on the calculations and significance level of 0.05, it can be concluded that the mean age of those playing the slot machines is significantly less than those playing roulette, and the confidence interval for the difference in means does not contain zero.

To determine if the mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than those playing roulette, we can perform a hypothesis test and calculate a confidence interval.  

Hypotheses:

Null hypothesis ([tex]H_0[/tex]): The mean age of those playing the slot machines is greater than or equal to the mean age of those playing roulette. ([tex]\mu_1 > =\mu_2[/tex])

Alternative hypothesis ([tex]H_a[/tex]): The mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than the mean age of those playing roulette. [tex]\mu_1 < \mu_2[/tex]

Significance level (α): 0.05 (5%)

Since the sample sizes are large (25 and 35) and we have the standard deviations, we can use the two-sample z-test for the difference in means.

Test statistic:

The test statistic can be calculated as follows:

[tex]z = (x1 - x2 - D) / \sqrt{((s_1^2 / n_1) + (s_2^2 / n_2))}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x_1[/tex] = mean age of the slot machine players

[tex]x_2[/tex] = mean age of the roulette players

D = hypothesized difference in means under the null hypothesis (0 in this case)

[tex]s_1[/tex] = standard deviation of the slot machine player ages

[tex]s_2[/tex] = standard deviation of the roulette player ages

[tex]n_1[/tex] = sample size of the slot machine players

[tex]n_2[/tex] = sample size of the roulette players

Calculating the test statistic:

[tex]z = (48.7 - 55.3 - 0) / \sqrt{((6.8^2 / 25) + (3.2^2 / 35))}[/tex]

Now we can compare the calculated test statistic with the critical value from the standard normal distribution at the 0.05 significance level.

If the calculated test statistic is less than the critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than those playing roulette.

Regarding the confidence interval, we can calculate it to estimate the difference in means.

Confidence interval formula:

CI = [tex](x_1 - x_2)[/tex] ± [tex]z * \sqrt{((s_1^2 / n_1) + (s_2^2 / n_2))}[/tex]

In this case, since we want to determine if the mean age of slot machine players is less than roulette players, we are interested in a lower confidence interval.

Now, let's calculate the test statistic, compare it with the critical value, and calculate the confidence interval to answer the question.

To calculate the test statistic and compare it with the critical value, we first need to calculate the standard error and the degrees of freedom:

Standard error:

[tex]SE = \sqrt{(s_1^2 / n_1) + (s_2^2 / n_2)}[/tex]

Degrees of freedom:

[tex]df = (s_1^2 / n_1 + s_2^2 / n_2)^2 / [(s_1^2 / n_1)^2 / (n_1 - 1) + (s_2^2 / n_2)^2 / (n_2 - 1)][/tex]

Calculating the standard error and degrees of freedom:

[tex]SE = \sqrt{((6.8^2 / 25) + (3.2^2 / 35))}\\\\df = ((6.8^2 / 25) + (3.2^2 / 35))^2 / [((6.8^2 / 25)^2 / (25 - 1)) + ((3.2^2 / 35)^2 / (35 - 1))][/tex]

Once we have the degrees of freedom, we can find the critical value from the standard normal distribution for a one-tailed test at the 0.05 significance level. For a significance level of 0.05, the critical value is approximately -1.645.

Now, let's calculate the test statistic:

[tex]z = (48.7 - 55.3 - 0) / \sqrt{(6.8^2 / 25) + (3.2^2 / 35)}[/tex]

Next, we compare the calculated test statistic with the critical value:

If the calculated test statistic is less than -1.645, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than those playing roulette.

Finally, to determine if the confidence interval contains zero, we calculate the confidence interval:

[tex]CI = (48.7 - 55.3) \± 1.645 * \sqrt{(6.8^2 / 25) + (3.2^2 / 35)}[/tex]

If the confidence interval does not contain zero (i.e., all values are less than zero), we can conclude that the mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than those playing roulette.

Given that 30% of the students at the Bayamón Campus belong to the Graduate School and 45% of the students at the Bayamon Campus are male.

And 60% of the students at the Campus Graduate School are male, we need to find the probability that the student is from the graduate school or male.

Let A be the event that a student belongs to the graduate school and B be the event that a student is male.

We need to find

[tex]P(A or B).P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)[/tex]

(Sum rule)

We know that [tex]P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.45[/tex] and [tex]P(B|A) = 0.6[/tex]

To find P(A and B), we can use the product rule as follows:

The horizontal distance between the car and the base of the building is approximately 30.42 meters.

The main answer to the question is that the horizontal distance between the car and the base of the building is approximately 30.42 meters. To calculate this distance, we can use trigonometry. In the given scenario, the man is standing on top of a building with a height of 52 meters. He looks at the car at an angle of depression of 43 degrees.

We can visualize the situation by drawing a diagram. The vertical line represents the height of the building (52m), and the line from the man's eye level to the car represents the line of sight. The angle of depression (43 degrees) is the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal line.

To find the horizontal distance, we need to use the tangent function, which is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. In this case, the opposite side is the height of the building (52m), and the adjacent side is the horizontal distance we want to calculate (x).

Using the formula tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent, we can write tan(43) = 52/x. Rearranging the formula, we have x = 52/tan(43). Plugging in the values and evaluating the expression, we find that x is approximately equal to 30.42 meters.

y(x, t) = [12 (t - x/2)³ - 4 (t- x/2) + 8] H(t- x/2), where H(t- x/2) is unit step function.

Given that, the partial differential equation is,

∂²y/∂t² = 4 (∂²y/∂x²) .......... (i)

and y(0,t) = 2t³ - 4t + 8 and y(x, 0) = 0 and y(x, t) is bounded as x → ∞.

Taking Laplace transform of equation (i) we get,

4 d²y/dx² = s² y(x, s) - s y(x, 0) - yₜ(x, 0)

4 d²y/dx² = s² y(x, s) - 0 - 0

d²y/dx² = s² y(x, s)/4

d²y/dx² - s²y/4 = 0

General solution of above ordinary differential equation is,

y(x, s) = [tex]Ae^{\frac{s}{2}x}+Be^{\frac{-s}{2}x}[/tex] ............ (ii) where A and B are arbitrary constants.

Since y(0,t) = 2t³ - 4t + 8

y(0, s) = L{y(0, t)} = L(2t³ - 4t + 8) = 2*(3!/s⁴) - 4 (1/s²) + 8/s = 12/s⁴ - 4/s² + 8/s.

Since y(x, t) is bounded as x → ∞.

So, y(x, s) is bounded as x → ∞.

So, from equation (ii) we get, y(x, s) = [tex]Be^{\frac{-s}{2}x}[/tex] .. (iii)

So, y(0, s) = B

Also, y(0, s) == 12/s⁴ - 4/s² + 8/s. . gives,

B = 12/s⁴ - 4/s² + 8/s.

So, y(x, s) = (12/s⁴ - 4/s² + 8/s)[tex]e^{-\frac{s}{2}x}[/tex] ........(iv)

Taking inverse Laplace transform we get,

y(x, t) = L⁻¹{(12/s⁴ - 4/s² + 8/s)[tex]e^{-\frac{s}{2}x}[/tex] }

y(x, t) = L⁻¹{(12/s⁴)[tex]e^{-\frac{s}{2}x}[/tex]} - L⁻¹{(4/s²)[tex]e^{-\frac{s}{2}x}[/tex]} + L⁻¹{(8/s)[tex]e^{-\frac{s}{2}x}[/tex]}

y(x, t) = 12 H(t- x/2) (t - x/2)³ - 4 H(t- x/2) (t- x/2) + 8 H(t- x/2)

where H(t- x/2) is unit step function.

The height of a ball thrown by David can be represented by the equation h(t) = -16t2 + 112t, where t is the time in seconds. We are required to find out the following questions:

a) At what time will the ball reach its maximum height?

b) What is the maximum height of the ball?

c) When will the ball land on the ground?  

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the time when the ball reaches its maximum height

step 2: Find the maximum height of the ball

step 3: Find the time when the ball lands on the ground

a) To find the time when the ball reaches its maximum height, we need to find the vertex of the parabola given by the equation h(t) = -16t2 + 112t. We know that the time t of the vertex of the parabola is given by: t = -b/2a, where a = -16, b = 112Hence, the time at which the ball reaches its maximum height is:t = -112/(2 x -16) = 3.5 seconds

Therefore, the time at which the ball reaches its maximum height is 3.5 seconds.

b) To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find the value of h(t) at t = 3.5. We know that [tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 112t So, h(3.5) = -16 x 3.5^2 + 112 x 3.5= 196[/tex]feet therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 196 feet.

c) To find the time when the ball lands on the ground, we need to find the value of t when h(t) = 0. We know that [tex]h(t) = -16t2 + 112t, so -16t2 + 112t = 0= > -16t(t - 7) = 0;[/tex]

hence, t = 0 or t = 7. Therefore, the ball lands on the ground at t = 0 and t = 7.

"Now, let's represent the hypotenuse as h, and using the statement "the hypotenuse is 2 less than three times of the first leg", we can say:$$h = 3x - 2$$By Pythagoras theorem, we know that $$(first leg)^2 + (second leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2$$So, substituting all the values, we get:$$x^2 + (2 + 2x)^2 = (3x - 2)^2$$$$x^2 + 4x^2 + 8x + 4 = 9x^2 - 12x + 4$$$$0 = 4x^2 - 20x$$ $$4x(x - 5) = 0$$Solving the above quadratic equation, we get the two roots as x = 0, 5.But, the length of a side of a right triangle can not be 0, so we can eliminate x = 0.Thus, the first leg of the right triangle is 5 units.Using this, the second leg of the right triangle can be calculated as 2 + 2(5) = 12 units.The hypotenuse of the right triangle can be calculated as 3(5) - 2 = 13 units.Thus, the three legs of the right triangle are:First leg = 5 unitsSecond leg = 12 unitsHypotenuse = 13 units.

To determine the resulting vector, we need to perform two operations on vector a: rotation and scaling.

First, we rotate vector a 60° clockwise. Clockwise rotation can be achieved by multiplying the vector by a rotation matrix. Applying the rotation formula, we get:

| cos(θ) -sin(θ) || 6 || 12-8√3 |

Given two symmetric maps ø and ξ from V to V, where ø is positive-definite, we aim to prove that all eigenvalues of the matrix øξ are real.

To prove that all eigenvalues of the matrix øξ are real, we can utilize the fact that both ø and ξ are symmetric maps. Let λ be an eigenvalue of øξ, and let v be the corresponding eigenvector. We can then express this relationship as øξv = λv.

Taking the inner product of both sides of the equation with v, we have v^T(øξv) = λv^Tv. Since ø is positive-definite, v^Tøv is a real and positive scalar. Thus, we have v^T(øξv) = λv^Tv ≥ 0.

Next, we consider the conjugate transpose of the equation v^T(øξv) = λv^Tv. Taking the conjugate transpose of both sides gives us (v^T(øξv))^* = λ^*(v^Tv)^*.

Since v^T(øξv) is a real number, its complex conjugate is equal to itself. Therefore, we have v^T(øξv) = λ^*(v^Tv)^* = λ^*(v^Tv).

Combining the results, we have v^T(øξv) = λv^Tv and v^T(øξv) = λ^*(v^Tv). This implies that λ = λ^*, which means λ is a real number.

Hence, we have shown that all eigenvalues of the matrix øξ are real, given that ø and ξ are symmetric maps and ø is positive-definite.

10; The completed statement is; For the exponential function, y = eˣ, the slope of the tangent at any point on the function is equal to the y-value at that point

A pendulum consists of a weight that is attached to or linked to a pivot such that is can swing without restriction.

The function for the horizontal displacement of the pendulum can be presented as follows;

[tex]x(t) = 1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)}[/tex]

The speed of the pendulum = The magnitude of the velocity of the pendulum at a point

The velocity = The derivative of the displacement function with respect to time.

Therefore, we get;

[tex]v(t) = x'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)})}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dt}(1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)}) = -1.5\cdot sin(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t}) + 1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot (-0.05)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)}[/tex]

[tex]-1.5\cdot sin(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t}) + 1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot (-0.05)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)} = e^{-0.05 \cdot t}\cdot [-1.5\cdot sin(t) - 0.075\cdot cos(t)][/tex]

[tex]x'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(1.5\cdot cos(t)\cdot e^{(-0.05\cdot t)}) = e^{-0.05 \cdot t}\cdot [-1.5\cdot sin(t) - 0.075\cdot cos(t)][/tex]

The speed of the pendulum is therefore;

[tex]x'(t) = | e^{-0.05 \cdot t}\cdot [-1.5\cdot sin(t) - 0.075\cdot cos(t)]|[/tex]

The largest speed can be obtained from the maximum value of the expression; |[-1.5·sin(t) - 0.075·cos(t)]|, as the term [tex]e^{(-0.05\cdot t)}[/tex] is always positive.

|[-1.5·sin(t) - 0.075·cos(t)]| has a maximum value, when we get;

d/dt (|[-1.5·sin(t) - 0.075·cos(t)]| = 0

-1.5·cos(t) + 0.075·sin(t) = 0

0.075·sin(t) = 1.5·cos(t)

tan(t) = 1.5/0.075

The maximum speed occurs when; t = arctan(1.5/0.075) ≈ 1.52 seconds

The greatest speed the pendulum can reach is therefore;

[tex]|x'(1.52)| = e^{(-0.05 \times 1.52)} \times |[-1.5\cdot sin(1.52) - 0.075 \cdot cos(1.52)]| \approx 1.39[/tex]

The derivative dy/dx can be found by substituting the expression for u into the given equation y = ³√u and then applying the chain rule.

To find dy/dx, we start by substituting the expression for u into the equation y = ³√u:

  y = ³√(x⁴ - 3x³ - 7)

Next, we differentiate y with respect to x using the chain rule. The chain rule states that if y = f(u) and u = g(x), then dy/dx = f'(u) * g'(x).

Applying the chain rule to the equation y = ³√(x⁴ - 3x³ - 7), we have:

  dy/dx = (1/3)(x⁴ - 3x³ - 7)⁻²/³ * (4x³ - 9x²)

To find the equation for the tangent line to the curve y = √2 + x/4 at the point where x = 1, we need to calculate the derivative dy/dx using the chain rule.

Taking the derivative of y = √2 + x/4 with respect to x, we find:

  dy/dx = 1/4

Plugging x = 1 into the equation y = √2 + x/4, we get y = √2 + 1/4 = √2.

Therefore, the equation of the tangent line is y - √2 = (1/4)(x - 1), which simplifies to:

  y = (1/4)x + (√2 - 1/4)

(a) Finding the basis for the kernel of T: The basis for the kernel of T is B₁ = (1, -1, 1), and T(x) = T(y) when x = (1, -1, 1) and y = (2, -2, 2).

(b) Finding the basis for the range of T: The basis for the range of T is B₂ = {(1, 1, 2), (2, 3, 5)}, and a vector v = (-2, -7, -4) is not in the range of T.

(a) To find a basis for the kernel of T, we need to determine the vectors x ∈ R³ such that T(x) = 0. In other words, we need to find the solutions to the homogeneous equation T(x) = 0.

Setting up the equation T(x) = 0, we have:

x₁ + 2x₂ + x₃ = 0

x₁ + 3x₂ + 2x₃ = 0

2x₁ + 5x₂ + 3x₃ = 0

We can write this as a system of linear equations:

x₁ + 2x₂ + x₃ = 0

x₁ + 3x₂ + 2x₃ = 0

2x₁ + 5x₂ + 3x₃ = 0

To solve this system, we can use row reduction. Writing the augmented matrix, we have:

[1 2 1 | 0]

[1 3 2 | 0]

[2 5 3 | 0]

Applying row reduction operations:

R₂ = R₂ - R₁

R₃ = R₃ - 2R₁

[1 2 1 | 0]

[0 1 1 | 0]

[0 1 1 | 0]

R₃ = R₃ - R₂

[1 2 1 | 0]

[0 1 1 | 0]

[0 0 0 | 0]

We can see that the third row is a linear combination of the first two rows, resulting in a row of zeros. This tells us that there is a dependency among the variables x₁, x₂, and x₃. Thus, the system is underdetermined, and we have one free variable.

Choosing x₃ = t (a free parameter), we can express the other variables in terms of t:

x₁ + 2x₂ + t = 0 ---> x₁ = -2x₂ - t

x₂ + t = 0 ---> x₂ = -t

Therefore, the general solution to the system is given by:

x = (-2x₂ - t, -t, t)

= (-2(-t) - t, -t, t)

= (t, -t, t)

We can choose a basis for the kernel of T by selecting values for t. Let's choose t = 1:

x₁ = 1, x₂ = -1, x₃ = 1

Thus, a basis for the kernel of T is given by the vector:

B₁ = (1, -1, 1)

To find x ‡ y such that T(x) = T(y), we can choose any two vectors x and y that satisfy this condition. Let's choose x = (1, -1, 1) and y = (2, -2, 2):

T(x) = T(1, -1, 1) = (1 + 2(-1) + 1, 1 + 3(-1) + 2, 2(1) + 5(-1) + 3(1))

= (1 - 2 + 1, 1 - 3 + 2, 2 - 5 + 3)

= (0, 0, 0)

T(y) = T(2, -2, 2) = (2 + 2(-2) + 2, 2 + 3(-2) + 2, 2(2) + 5(-2) + 3(2))

= (2 - 4 + 2, 2 - 6 + 2, 4 - 10 + 6)

= (0, 0, 0)

Therefore, T(x) = T(y) = (0, 0, 0) for x = (1, -1, 1) and y = (2, -2, 2).

(b) To find a basis for the range of T, we need to determine the vectors v ∈ R³ such that there exists x ∈ R³ satisfying T(x) = v. In other words, we need to find the vectors v that can be obtained as the image of some x under the transformation T.

We can rewrite the equations of T(x) as:

T(x) = (x₁ + 2x₂ + x₃, x₁ + 3x₂ + 2x₃, 2x₁ + 5x₂ + 3x₃)

From this form, we can observe that the range of T is the set of all vectors (v₁, v₂, v₃) that can be expressed as a linear combination of the columns of the matrix associated with T. Thus, the range of T is the span of the column vectors:

C₁ = (1, 1, 2)

C₂ = (2, 3, 5)

C₃ = (1, 2, 3)

To find a basis for the range of T, we need to determine if these vectors are linearly independent. If they are, they will form a basis; otherwise, we need to remove any redundant vectors.

To check for linear independence, we can write the vectors as columns of a matrix and perform row reduction:

[1 2 1]

[1 3 2]

[2 5 3]

Using row reduction, we obtain:

[1 2 1]

[0 1 1]

[0 1 1]

Since the third row is a linear combination of the first two rows, we can remove it without changing the span. Thus, a basis for the range of T is given by the remaining vectors:

B₂ = {(1, 1, 2), (2, 3, 5)}

To find a vector v that is not in the range of T, we need to find a vector that cannot be expressed as a linear combination of the vectors in the basis B₂. One such vector is the vector orthogonal to the basis vectors.

We can find the orthogonal vector by taking the cross product of the basis vectors:

(1, 1, 2) × (2, 3, 5) = (1(3) - 1(5), -1(2) - 1(5), 1(2) - 2(3))

= (-2, -7, -4)

Thus, a vector v = (-2, -7, -4) is not in the range of T.

The family-wise error rate (FWER) is the chance of making at least one Type I error in a family of tests. When several post-hoc assessments are conducted in one ANOVA, the possibility of a type I error rises.

In other words, when conducting several pairwise comparisons in a one-way ANOVA, the probability of at least one type I error increases. In such situations, the Bonferroni correction may be employed to control the family-wise error rate.To account for multiple comparisons when conducting a post hoc test following a one-way ANOVA, the Bonferroni correction is often utilized.

The procedure includes a series of pairwise comparisons between all of the sample groupings. Bonferroni correction involves calculating a new alpha value that is smaller than the original alpha value. The new alpha value is then divided by the total number of tests. The new alpha value is calculated as:α = α / n Where, α = initial alpha level, n = number of pairwise comparisons. The p-value that is typically used to determine whether or not a null hypothesis is rejected can be changed using the Bonferroni correction.

This correction is accomplished by lowering the alpha level for each of the evaluations. For example, if the significance level is set to 0.05, and a Bonferroni correction is applied to three tests, the new alpha value will be 0.0167. This is done to make sure that the overall probability of a Type I error stays below the desired level. When utilizing the Bonferroni correction, the likelihood of committing a type I error is reduced. The results obtained after applying the Bonferroni correction to a one-way ANOVA post hoc comparison will be more accurate because they will be less prone to a Type I error.

The Fibonacci sequence can be computed using an Excel worksheet, and for large values of N, the ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio (1.61).

The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. It starts with 0 and 1, and then each subsequent number is the sum of the two numbers that came before it. To set up an Excel worksheet to compute the Fibonacci sequence, you can use the following steps:

In column A, starting from cell A1, enter the index numbers of the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, and so on).

In column B, starting from cell B1, enter the formulas to calculate the Fibonacci numbers. The formula for cell B1 would be "=0" since F(0) = 0. For cell B2, the formula would be "=1" since F(1) = 1. For cell B3 and onward, the formula would be "=B2+B1" since F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2).

Copy the formula in cell B3 and drag it down to fill the remaining cells in column B for as many Fibonacci numbers as you want to compute.

As you increase the value of N (the index of the Fibonacci number), you will notice that the ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio, often represented by the symbol φ (phi), is approximately 1.61. This ratio is an irrational number and has unique mathematical properties.

Given the marginal willingness to pay for oil, the constant marginal cost of extraction, and a discount rate of 1%, the oil reserve will last for approximately 10.8 periods.



To determine how long the oil reserve will last, we need to find the point at which the marginal cost of extraction equals the marginal willingness to pay for oil. In this case, the marginal cost is constant at $4 per unit. The marginal willingness to pay is given by the equation P = 7 - 0.40q, where q represents the quantity of oil extracted.

Setting the marginal cost equal to the marginal willingness to pay, we have:4 = 7 - 0.40q

Simplifying the equation, we get:0.40q = 3

q = 3 / 0.40

q ≈ 7.5So, at q ≈ 7.5, the marginal cost and marginal willingness to pay are equal. We can interpret this as the point at which the country would extract the oil until the quantity reaches 7.5 units. To determine how long this would last, we need to divide the total oil reserve (5 units) by the extraction rate (7.5 units per period):5 / 7.5 ≈ 0.67

Since the extraction rate is less than 1 unit per period, it means that the oil reserve will last for approximately 0.67 periods. However, the discount rate of 1% needs to be taken into account. To calculate the present value of the oil reserve, we discount each period's value. Using the formula for present value, we find that the oil reserve will last for approximately 10.8 periods.

The given graph does not have an Euler path or an Euler tour.

The edges marked in the MST are:  24 - b16 - a18 - c10 - d23 - e21 - f11 - g

The graph G is not planar.

(a) The graph in figure 1 does not have an Euler tour or an Euler path.

An Euler path is a path that uses every edge of a graph exactly once, while an Euler tour is an Euler path that starts and ends at the same vertex.

The graph has an Euler path if and only if at most two vertices have odd degrees.

Here, there are 3 vertices with odd degrees: vertex 1, 3 and 5.

Therefore, there is no Euler path in the given graph. Fleury's Algorithm is used to find the Euler path or Euler tour in a graph with even vertices

In this case, there is no Euler path or Euler tour.

Conclusion: The given graph does not have an Euler path or an Euler tour.

(b) Kruskal's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph.

Kruskal's algorithm selects the edges in ascending order of their weights until all vertices are connected to a single tree.

Hence the maximum (weight) spanning tree (MST) for the given graph will be the complement of the MST that is obtained from Kruskal's algorithm.

So, the following edges are marked in the MST:  24 - b16 - a18 - c10 - d23 - e21 - f11 - g  (c) To check whether the graph G below is planar or not, we use the Euler formula which is given by

E - V + F = 2

Here, E is the number of edges in the graph, V is the number of vertices, and F is the number of faces (regions) in the graph. If the graph is planar, then this equation must be true.

Number of vertices (V) = 13

Number of edges (E) = 19

Using Euler's formula:

E - V + F = 2

Therefore,

19 - 13 + F = 2 or,

F = 2 + 13 - 19 or,

F = -4

Since the number of faces comes out to be negative, it is not possible for the graph to be planar.

Maximum Likelihood Estimator: The log-likelihood function is: ln L(θ) = nln(1/θ) - ∑yᵢ/θ - nln(a).

Differentiating the log-likelihood function with respect to θ and equating it to zero, we have:

d(ln L(θ))/dθ = -n/θ + ∑yᵢ/θ² = 0 or nθ = ∑yᵢ. Thus, θ = m₁.

d(ln L(θ))/da = -n/a + ∑1(f(yᵢ) - 30) = 0.

a = (n-∑1(f(yᵢ) - 30))/n. Thus, the maximum likelihood estimators of θ and a are m1 and (n-∑1(f(yᵢ) - 30))/n respectively.

Variance of Maximum Likelihood Estimator: The variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of θ is given by:

Var(θ) = -E(d²(ln L(θ))/dθ²)^-1.

d(ln L(θ))/dθ = -n/θ + ∑yᵢ/θ² and d²(ln L(θ))/dθ² = n/θ² - 2∑yᵢ/θ³.

Thus, `Var(θ) = (-1/(-n/θ + ∑yᵢ/θ²)) = θ²/n.
