What is the solution to the first-order ODE dy/dx = 2y with y(0) = 3?
Answer: y = 3e^(2x)
Separating variables and integrating gives y = Ce^(2x); applying y(0)=3 yields C=3, so y = 3e^(2x).
A normal distribution has mean 50 and standard deviation 10. What percentage of data falls within one standard deviation?
Answer: 68%
The empirical rule states approximately 68% of data falls within ±1 standard deviation of the mean.
Which method is used to solve a system of linear equations by converting the augmented matrix to row echelon form?
Answer: Gaussian Elimination
Gaussian Elimination uses row operations to transform the augmented matrix into upper triangular form, enabling back substitution.
The inverse Laplace transform of 1/s² is:
Answer: t
The inverse Laplace transform of 1/s² is t, since L{t} = 1/s².
What is the probability that a standard normal variable Z is less than 1.96?
Answer: 0.975
From standard normal tables, P(Z < 1.96) ≈ 0.975, leaving 2.5% in the upper tail.
Which test is used to determine whether sample data follows a specific distribution?
Answer: Chi-square goodness-of-fit test
The chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed frequencies with expected frequencies from a hypothesized distribution.
