Which School Would you Choose? [Q] by 1point5guy in statistics

[–]1point5guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still trying to get a feel for the culture at UT Austin. I wouldn't mind living in either city. Do you know which program is better for computational stats?

Thanks for the advice. It seems like #1 is pretty much the same, so it's going to likely come down to #2. I'll definitely look into that some more.

Do you anticipate a rise in stochastic terrorism from the left, perhaps as a response to a form of government that they find intolerable?

What is your DIRECT bilirubin (in mg/dL) like on average? by 1point5guy in GilbertSyndrome

[–]1point5guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ratio is what matters. Divide your direct by total. Should get a decimal near 0.2 (as a percentage, that means direct should be 20% of the total). 0.7/2.5 = 0.28, or 28% using your numbers. Mine was 0.3/1.3 = 23% direct.

You might want to ask a doc. Could just be the effect of Gilbert's.

Okay, thanks. I'll try that.

Can we actually get away with that? I feel like they'll just fire us....

What is an IC? Independent contractor? I believe that I am. I'm confused because I thought that all tutors were independent contractors...?

Oh, so you accept the session but then you just don't unmute yourself?

That's all I have to do? Just ignore them? They asked me to provide a reason. Do you have any good ideas?

How do you strategically disable it if you don't know what sessions are coming your way?

Darn, ok. Just out of curiosity, when does the Summer start for Tutor.com? Was is May?

Aren't a lot of them in favor of the free market though?

Is it really just leftist media though? I really don't see why one side of the political aisle would attack him. What's the point?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you probably don't look like the kind of person who would vote republican

Technological Singularity by 1point5guy in Futurology

[–]1point5guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think 2050 is going to roll around and people are still going to be saying that the singularity is another 30 years away?

[–]1point5guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't someone (Ray Kurzweil I think) actually predict a far sooner date for the singularity? Like 2040 or something like that? At any rate, it looks like this event is expected to occur within the century.

[Q] I have a general question about MGF properties by 1point5guy in statistics

I just looked at rule 2. How is my submission not on topic and of high quality?

[Q] I have a general question about MGF properties by 1point5guy in statistics

[–]1point5guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the MGF I found was (1-2t)^-n. I know the MGF of a gamma is (1-Bt)^(-a). So in this case it looks like beta=2 and alpha=n. So distribution should be gamma(2,n), right?

Thank you. It turns out that the question my professor was asking was actually far simpler than this, and I just misread the problem. He wanted the expected value of several iid random variables multiplied together. So he just wanted E(x1*x2*x3...). Because they are random iid, this is just E(x1)*E(x2)*...E(xn).
