  • lenovo keyboard not working in Ubuntu?

    I'm relatively new with Ubuntu, I have tried many other linux flavours and I liked Ubuntu the most. But this never happened before!

    I was working fine when suddenly the laptop (Lenovo) turns off, and when I restart it the keyboard will not work in the Xterminal, it works well with the console (but I can't get used to it). If I press really hard it may work. I have also tried pressing 'Shift' at startup...it worked once but not any more.

    Right now I'm using another computer, so, anyone have any advice, tips, resources I could go to to fix this problem? It would mean the world to me!

  • Visual Basic Help with Labels and Formatting?

    I have a label that displays the hour and the minutes.

    Initially, I set that label to read 00 ( So that together it is 00 : 00, for three labels total)

    Then, in a text box, I let the user input the hour and the minutes.

    That text box = hour or minute (variables to keep track of time)

    And the label = hour or minute

    My question is: If I again want that label to read 00, or 03, or any number less than 10... What code should I write so that Visual Basic doesn't reformat the label to have only one number (like 0 instead of 00)?.. This also happens for the minute label

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • A little help making the recursive version of range in Python?

    I have tried to make a recursive range function, but my result for say myrange(0, 5, 1) is (0,(1,(2,(3,(4))))), how can I make a list in the format (0,1,2,3,4)?

    I am using Python 2.6, I have posted my odd-working function:

    def myrange(start, end, step):

    __ """

    __ Assume that start<=end and step>0, return a list from start number

    __ to end - 1 number, by n steps using recursion.

    __ >>>print myrange(0,5,1)

    __ >>>(0,1,2,3,4)

    __ """

    __ lst = []

    __ if start + step <= end-1:

    ____ lst.append(start) #Without this previous numbers aren't added

    #Next append seems to add the next numbers in the list, I think this is where the problem is

    ____ lst.append(myrange(start + step, end, step))

    ____ return lst

    __ elif start == end-1: #Without this last number isn't added

    ____ lst.append(end-1)

    ____ return lst

    __ else: # If start == end,

    ____ return lst

    The underscores are to replace the tabs...it's easier to look at it that way

    Thanks for any help!!

  • Let X1 and X2 be two independent random variables with variances σ_1^2 = k and σ_2^2 =2. Find k?

    Let X1 and X2 be two independent random variables so that the variances of X1 and X2 are σ_1^2 = k and σ_2^2 = 2, respectively. Given that the variance of Y = 3X2 - X1is 25, find k.

  • Least squares polynomial approximation on an interval?

    Find the linear least squares polynomial approximationon the interval [-1,1] for the following functions:

    a) f(x)=x^3 , b) f(x)=1/(x+2), and c) f(x)=e^x

    This is my attempt at part a): The normal equations for P3(x)=(a3)x^3+(a2)x^2+(a1)x+(a0) so I took the integral of this from -1 to 1 and obtained 2a0+(2/3)a2=0 but I am lost after that... any help appreciated.

  • if p(x) = (1/3)(2/3)^x what is the probability distribution of y=x/(x+1)?

    if X, a discrete random variable, has a pdf p(x) = (1/3)(2/3)^x, for x=0,1,2,... what is the probability distribution of Y=X/(X+1)?

    since X= -Y/(Y-1) => X= Y/(1-Y)

    P(y) = P(x=y) = sum_(from y=0 to infinity) (1/3)(2/3)^(y/[1-y])

    Because a geometric series has sum r^x = 1/(1-r) I have the feeling the distribution is geometric but I can't prove it...I can't think of any way of making y/(1-y) into a single y so that the geometric series theorem is true.

    Or am I completely off?

  • Help with a little stats?

    Say x = Force of launch

    y = amount of fuel used

    (beta1-hat) = 1.25, σ = 350, n= 7, x1= 1000, x2= 1500, x3= 2000, x4= 2500, x5= 3000, x6=3500, x7= 4000

    The simple linear regression is valid for 1000 and 4000

    a. Calculate σ(of beta1-hat). Which I calculated as 0.13228

    I need help solving the next two problems:

    b. What is the probability that the estimated slope based on such observations will be between 1.00 and 1.50? Use a threshold for t- distribution

    c. Suppose it is possible to make a single observation at each of the n=11 values x1= 2000, x2= 2100,…, x11= 3000. If the major objective is to estimate β1 as accurately as possible, would the experiment with n=11 be preferable to n=7?
