... (a) A good example of a simple random walk with two reflecting barriers is the movement of an elevator in a 10 storey building. Once the elevator reaches the ground floor, it will have a 100% Probability of going up, and when it reaches the 10th floor, it will have a 100% Probability of going down. The elevator goes up and down at discrete intervals. Reflection at the barriers is represents the points when the elevator is at the ground and the 10th floors. (b) (i) 1. 2. (i...

This assignment "Probability Analysis" presents a value histogram that means that it does not involve intervals. A histogram bar of 20 represents people aged 20, not from 20 to 30. Therefore the percentage of individuals below the age of 35 will be the individuals below 40.... The histogram is skewed to the right. This is because its right tail is longer than its left tail. This is also due to the reason that the tail on the right is more positive than the tail on the left. Furthermore, this is also...
