Problem 74: The set W of ordered triads $(a_1,a_2,0)$, where $a_1,a_2 \in F$ is a subspace of $V_3(F)$.

Problem 74: The set W of ordered triads $(a_1,a_2,0)$, where $a_1,a_2 \in F$ is a subspace of $V_3(F)$.

Solution:
$W = \{(a_1,a_2,0)|a_1,a_2 \in \F\}$.
Now let $u = (a_1,a_2,0)$ and $v = (b_1,b_2,0)$ for $a_1,a_2,b_1,b_2 \in \F$.Then
Closure under Addition:
$u+v = (a_1,a_2,0) + (b_1,b_2,0) = (a_1+b_1,a_2+b_2,0) = (x,y,0)$
if $x=a_1+b_1, y = a_2+b_2$
So, $u+v \in W$
Hence,W is closed under addition.
Closure under Scalar Multiplication:
Let $k \in \R$ and $u=(a_1,a_2,0) \in W$
Then, $ku = (ka_1,ka_2,0)$
which shows that $ku \in W$
Therefore W is a subspace of $V_3(F)$

Problem 105: If a bank receives on the average α = 6 bad checks per day, what are the probabilities that it will receive (a) 4 bad checks on any given day? (b) 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days? Solution: Poisson distribution, $f(x;\lambda )=\frac{{\lambda }^{x}{e}^{-\lambda }}{x!}$ a. 4 bad checks on any given day Given that $x=4, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 1 = 6$ $f(4;6 )=\frac{{6 }^{4}{e}^{-6 }}{4!} = 0.134$ b. 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days Given that $x=10, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 2 = 12$ $f(10;12 )=\frac{{12 }^{10}{e}^{-12 }}{10!} = 0.104837$
