Show how to compute the squared euclidean distance between φ(~xi) and φ(~xj ) for any two points ~xi and ~xj in the original space without ever explicitly computing the mapping φ for either point by using the kernel function k.

In the final round of trivia competition, contestants were asked to name as many states that begin with the letter m as they could in 15 seconds. the bar graph shows the number of states the contestants were able to name. how many contestants participated in the final round of the competition?

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.

The figures below are made out of circles, semicircles, quarter circles, and a square. find the area and the perimeter of each figure and give your answers as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).
