how do i open a PDF file in the bash shell on a mac?

Homework Statement Let X1, X2, X3,...Xn be independent and indentically distributed with pdf f_X(x)= 4x^3 for 0 < x < 1 First I had to calculate the joint pdf of distribution of X1, X2, X3..Xn which I did I got 4(X1*X2*X3*...*Xn)^3 Which I'm hoping is correct. a) determine the...

halw could anyone help me in writing this project in MATLAB ?? A random variable X is observed at certain experiment. 100,000 samples of this random variable are stored in a vector called samples. 1. Use MATLAB to read the samples of this random variable. To read these samples you...

Can I "flatten" a pdf in Acrobat? In Adobe Acrobat you've got some drawing and markup tools. When using these, what happens is that whatever you draw is placed "on top" of the pdf. Also, when you print you need to specify that drawings/markups are to be included. Otherwise they're just ignored...

I'm doing a presentation for coursework, and would like to include some figures which are in other papers (on my computer in PDF format). What is the best way to get one of these images and include it in my document (latex)? I can just select it and copy/paste to an image file, but is there a...

Suppose one knows a probability density p(x) over a space X (where x\in X) and a conditional probability density p(y|x) over a space Y (where y\in Y). This implies the integral \int{p(x)dx} is well defined as well as \int{p(y|x)dy}. Defining a joint probability density p(x,y)\ =\ p(y|x)p(x)...

I am supposed to be sleeping but I re-woke up realising there was something I wanted to do today that I forgot. I'm sending you a pdf that you can use as posters, it is about internet protocols and their encapsulations. I hope you'll like them (now I go sleep). I have other cool stuff like these...

Does anyone here have one of these book readers? I want to know how good the 'experimental' PDF support is. For instance, will it display Alan Hatcher's Topology book?

Hi, I'm tying to solve the fourth moment of pdf of standard normal pdf. meanwhile, i have to break this one: how to get the result of integral of x exp (x) dx. that would mean a great difference to me. thank you.

Now if I want to attach my mathematica notebook to the pdf what would I have to enter in LaTeX?

I am looking at values of a sinusoid, y = A sin(2*Pi*f*t), oscillating between A and -A at a frequency of 25 Hz over 0.650 milliseconds. If I find the histogram of the sinusoid, is this the same thing as the probability density function of that sinusoid? If this is not the case, what does...

finding the pdf from generating functions?? The generating function of a Poisson distribution is given by f(z) = Exp[-lamda(1-z)], where lambda is the mean and variance of the poisson process. Now suppose I have an embedded Poisson process, that is, f(f(z)), the new generating function...

I am wondering if there exist some solution to the general stochastic differential equation (SDE) such that I get a time independent pdf(x) while the stochastic process Xt is nonstationary.. I really need some help with that..

I've been asked for my opinion on online PDF conversion sites. This is what I was sent: http://www.pdfonline.com/index.htm#free" My spidey-sense is tingling. I just wonder what they're getting out of it that they're not telling me. Can anyone advise me about online PDF converiosn in...

Where can I find a good course (maybe in pdf) that give me a lot of example of mechanical structure? Statical, dynamical? Thanks.

Given that the moment generating function of a random variable is (e^t)/(2-e^t) is there a way I can go backwards and find the pdf, or could 2 different pdf's have the same mgf?

I'm not too sure where to post this so feel free to move it :) Anyway I'm hoping someone could explain the answer of this problem to me (I would ask my lecturer but he's conveniently away for the week for a meeting). Suppose X and Y are iid continuous random variables with density f...

Though some of you would benefit from this, an online PDF version of Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Abramowitz and Stegun can be found here: http://www.math.sfu.ca/~cbm/aands/dl/Abramowitz&Stegun.pdf [The URL is http://www.math.sfu.ca/~cbm/aands/dl/Abramowitz&Stegun.pdf .]...

Given this joint PDF of X and Y: X\Y 1 2 0 0.1 0.3 1 0.05 0.1 2 0.2 0.25 So: P(X = 1| X+Y=2) = 1/2? P(X <= 1 and Y <= 2) = 1/3?

does anybody has notes about logic circuit for computer engineering??or any website recommended pls... pls help... thank you...

I thought this might be of interest to some of you astronomy people.

I was wondering.. How can you modify a PF file to have the TOC organization in the drawer rather than the flat page preview? Some PDFs of large documents have an organization that separates the PDF into sections and when you select that element or an element from the tree below an element, it...

Suppose X1, . . . ,Xn are independently and identically from the uniform distribution on [0, 1]. Find the probability density function of Y = min[X1, X2, ... , Xn]. I do not know how to formulate this problem. I know that the pdf has to be some integral, but no clue so far.

I have a hard time reading pdf files and i can not stand this file type. it is so slow and give me sickness and headache. :cry: It crushes me that the manufacturers are very fond of this file type . How can i make a pdf file into an ordinary web file which is very easier to read? For...

Does anyone know of a good software that can make this conversion? It needs to support all languages, since most of my documents will be in Hebrew. Thanks, Chen

so X and Y have joing pdf f X Y(x, y) = 1/2 for 0 < y < x < 2, and 0 otherwise. find P(0< Y < 2/5 | X = 3/4) first, I don't understand how to read the function. So the function is equal to 1/2 when 0 < y < x < 2. And it is equal 0 otherwise. So I need to find Probabilty Y is between 0...

What do I need to do to be able to create PDF documents and be able to write in LaTex in them like on this forum? Thanks.

so I"m trying to understand pdf, the one where the formula is ((rCk) * (wCn-k))/(NCn). Here, xCx means x chooses x. anyways, N is the total, and n is how much you sample out of it. and we know that r + w = N. what is k? I know this is diffenrent for all problems, but is there an...

Anybody knows where can I download the Space Shuttle Reference Manual in PDF version?. Any helps welcomed.

I have an MS Word document which is about 80 pages long and 800k large. I had a friend convert it to a PDF for me but it came out to be over 6M large. Is that size to be expected? If not then how do I convert this to a PDF file corrrectly? Thanks Pete

What is the easiest way to make PDF's from HTML or DOC files?

I made a math reference PDF... I was feeling in the generous mood and made a PDF containing basic integrals and trig identities and such, this way one doesn't have to keep flipping back to the flap of the book to check something :) http://praetersoftware.com/mathref/

hi. when i try to download a pdf file it regulaly freezes, it seems my computer is sending information but not receiving, is it my computer, i use acrobat and win XP, or the severs fault? hope you can help as this getting to be annoying.

Perhaps someone can help me out here. For one of my classes, the professor has made available the lecture notes in .pdf format. I would like to print them out prior to class so I can actually spend time absorbing information instead of frantically scribbling. However, I don't want to print...
