(a)
(Note that is square of mean value and is a constant)
(b)

i. For independent events,
ii.
(Given )
If B always shows the same result as A. then A = B
iii.
If B always shows the opposite result as A. then A = -B or B = -A
If A and B are independent events, then correlation is 0. .
If B always shows the same result as A, then correlation is positive.
If B always shows the opposite result as A, then correlation is negative.

2. (a) *D1* Let A be a fluctuating quantity like the position, velocity, or energy of a molecule. At any given time, we can quantify the fluctuation of A away from the average (A) by the quantity δ = A-(A). Show that the mean square fluctuation in A can be written in terms of its mean and mean square values. «6A)2-(A2>-(A)2. The following properties of averages might be useful (X and Y are fluctuating quantities, c is a constant) ·...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
BOX 5.1 The Polar Coordinate Basis Consider ordinary polar coordinates r and 0 (see figure 5.3). Note that the distance between two points with the same r coordinate but separated by an infinitesimal step do in 0 is r do (by the definition of angle). So there are (at least) two ways to define a basis vector for the direction (which we define to be tangent to the r = constant curve): (1) we could define a basis vector es...
1. What is the definition of an 'equivalence point' in an acid/base titration? (1 point) 2. In part one of the experiment, you will prepare the acid solutions being titrated from a stock solution. Describe how you will accurately prepare 10.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl solution using a 1.00 M HCl stock solution. In your response to this question, be very specific about the quantities of stock solution and deionized water to be used in the dilution and the...
