Which explanation is one of the reasons for the ability of the influenza virus to evolve rapidly? Its ability to integrate into the host genome allows it to remain in host cells for long periods of time. The virus may undergo antigenic shift when multiple strains infect the same organism. It can convert its RNA genome into a DNA copy by using the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Its single-stranded DNA genome is sensitive to environmental factors that create mutations.

Question 2: Suppose we have n sample pairs {x_(i),y_(i)}_(1)^(n), with hat(f)hat(f)=argmin_(f)sum_(i=1)^n (y_(i)-f(x_(i)))^(2)+lambda int_a^b (f^('')(t))^(2)dt.x_(1),dots,x_(n)tilde(f)a,bfx_(1),dots,x_(n)f(x_(i))=tilde(f)(x_(i)),i=1,dots,nh(x)=tilde(f)(x)-f(x).int_a^b f^('')(x)h^('')(x)dx=0.int_a^b f^('')(x)^(2)dx<=int_a^b tilde(f)^('')(x)^(2)dxh^('')(x)=0xin[a,b]h^('')(x)=0hh(x_(i))=0x_(i)h(x)=0a. The smoothing cubic spline estimate hat(f) is defined as hat(f)=argmin_(f)sum_(i=1)^n (y_(i)-f(x_(i)))^(2)+lambda int_a^b (f^('')(t))^(2)dt. In the class, we mentioned that it happens that the minimizer of the above problem is unique and is a natural cubic spline with knots at the input point x_(1),dots,x_(n). Here we will prove it. First, we assume that tilde(f) is any twice differentiable function on a,b. Show that there exists a natural cubic spline f with knots at x_(1),dots,x_(n) (in the form of linear combination of those basis functions) such that f(x_(i))=tilde(f)(x_(i)),i=1,dots,n. Define h(x)=tilde(f)(x)-f(x). Prove the following claim int_a^b f^('')(x)h^('')(x)dx=0. Hint: you may need to use integration by parts. 3. Now, we can show int_a^b f^('')(x)^(2)dx<=int_a^b tilde(f)^('')(x)^(2)dx with equality if and only if h^('')(x)=0 for all xin[a,b]. Note that h^('')(x)=0 implies that h must be linear, and since we already know that h(x_(i))=0 for all x_(i), this is equivalent to h(x)=0. And we finish the proof.

Why do managers of financial institutions care so much about the activities of the Bank of Canada? A. Because financial institutions count on the Bank of Canada as the lender of last resort and, as such, follow the Bank's activities closely B. Because the Bank of Canada conducts fiscal policy, which can have important effects on the profitability of financial institutions. C. Because the Bank of Canada affects interest rates, inflation, and business cycles, all of which have an important impact on the profitability of financial institutions. D. None of the above-financial institutions are only directly influenced by the activities of the federal government and the provincial sector

Bio 101 Name: Say a rare species of butterfly has two versions of color called blue (B) and white (b). You want to repopulate the species for the wild, but also breed and sell them. You find the blue butterflies are the most appealing to customers and want to breed them for the maximum profit. Blue is BB and Bb, while white is bb. State the percent change of getting blue butterflies from the following crosses (2.5pts each): 7. Blue (BB) and White (bb) 8. Blue (Bb) and White (bb) 9. Blue (BB) and Blue (BB) 10. Blue (Bb) and Blue (Bb) 11. White (bb) and White (bb)

P.4 Binomial Probabilities Suppose that past experience shows that about 24% of people who book seats in the cinema don't go to the cinema eventually. For this reason, cinemas sometimes sell more tickets than they have seats, with the expectation that they will have some no-shows. Suppose that a cinema has a small hall with 25 seats and assume that people are independent of each other in whether they show up to the cinema. Suppose that the cinema consistently sells 30 tickets for every one of these movies. On average, how many visitors will be in each movie in this hall? How often will they have enough seats for all? The mean number of visitors is 7.2, everyone will have a seat at about 12.1% of the movie sessions. The mean number of visitors is 22.8, everyone will have a seat at about 99.9% of the movie sessions. The mean number of visitors is 22.8, everyone will have a seat at about 87.9% of the movie sessions. The mean number of visitors is 7.2, everyone will have a seat at about 99.9% of the movie sessions. The mean number of visitors is 22.8, everyone will have a seat at about 12.1% of the movie sessions.
