  • Quick stats question?

    The mean height of men is 75 inches and the standard deviation is 1.5 inches. The mean height of women is 69.2 inches. The variation in heights is greater among women than among men. Then the variance of women's heights must be more than:

    A. 1.264

    B. 1.384

    C. 1.598

    D. 1.915

  • Anyone else try drinking coffee then going back to sleep?

    Basically, you wake up really early, and have a cup nearby. Your alarm goes off, you wake up, chug a few gulps, then go back to sleep. Fifteen to thirty minutes later, the caffine kicks in, and you get up, completely lucid and refreshed.

  • Distance between skew lines?

    Keeping getting a wrong answer:

    Given two lines L1 (1, 2, -1) + t[1, 1, 0], L2(5, 1, -2) + s[2, 1, 1] find the shortest distance between then & the points that give the shortest distance.

    To find the distance, I did:

    I'm getting different answers for the shortest distance.

    First I did:

    Cross product = [1, 1, -1]

    Project the vector between the two given points given onto the cross product, then take the magnitude of the resulting vector, to get (4/3)(3^.5) as the distance

    Too solve for the two points with the two lines, I did v=L2 - L1 = [4 + 2s - t, s - t - 1, s - 1], set dot product of v and the vector of each line to zero. I get two equations:

    3 + 3s - 2t = 0

    6 + 6s - 3t = 0

    Which I then solved to get t = 0 and s = -1

    I get two points, (1, 2, -1) and (3, 0, -3) but the distance between these points is root 12, which is different that the one I got with the projection. Am I doing someting wrong?

  • Yu-Gi-Oh Structure decks question?

    Should I get Zombie Madness, Zombie World or both Warrior's Triumph and Machine Re-Volt?

    Madness is 24 bucks and I don't wanna spend that much on a single deck.

    World is a 5Ds deck and I am at the moment very anti 5Ds.

    The other two seem to work very well when combined but they're a bit outdated.

    Feel free to suggest other Structure Decks and their advantages.
