You have a ruler of length 1 and you choose a place to break it using a uniform probability distribution. Let random variable X represent the length of the left piece of the ruler. X is distributed uniformly in [0, 1]. You take the left piece of the ruler and once again choose a place to break it using a uniform probability distribution. Let random variable Y be the length of the left piece from the second break. (a) Find the conditional expectation of Y given X, E(Y\X). (b) Find the unconditional expectation of Y. One way to do this is to apply the law of iterated expectation which states that E(Y) = E(E(Y\X)). The inner expectation is the conditional expectation computed above, which is a function of X. The outer expectation finds the expected value of this function. (c) Compute E(XY). This means that E(XY\X) = XE(Y\X) (d) Using the previous results, compute cov(X, Y).

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d.what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?
