Let K be a field and f : Z → K the homomorphism of
integers into K.
a) Show that the kernel of f is a prime ideal. If f is an embedding,
then we say that K has characteristic zero.
b) If kerf f= {0}, show that kerf is generated by a prime number
p. In this case we say that K has characteristic p.
A factory employer claims that their company follows the hours
of work for its employees and the standard deviation of their
working time is 0.5 hours.
(b) A consumer has a utility function of the form; U = X.Y Where Xand Y are any two goods. Given further that; The price of goodsX (Px) = Kshs. 8 The price of good Y (Py) = Kshs. 20 Theconsumers income (I) = Kshs. 1000
(i) Calculate the number of units that the consumer should consume in order to maximize utility. (10 marks)
(ii)What is the maximum utility the consumer derives from the consumption of the two goods. (2 marks)
It is given that the total marks of all probability students have an average of 45 marks with a standard deviation of 15 marks. If a student from a sample of 9 students is chosen at random, what is the probability that his marks are between 40 and 60?
