Homework 4

Choose one of the following.

• See some curious properties of Pascal's triangle on this page. We have talked about some of them (e.g. symmetry and horizontal sums) in class, but this page contains more. Prove that the third diagonal contains triangular numbers (see the very first section, "Diagonals"). Also prove the "Squares" and "Fibonacci sequence" properties.
• Find/write three problems on probability with continuous variables (see class activity on this topic; your problems have to be different from those in the handout, not just be slight modifications of those). Solve at least two of them. (If you find or think of an interesting problem that you do not know how to solve, we want to see it too, so that is why you are welcome to have one problem without a solution.)
