1. Reverse an Integer

The ReverseNumber class demonstrates how to reverse an integer using a while loop.

public class ReverseNumber {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int number = 1234;
        int reverse = 0;
        int original = number;
        while (number != 0) {
            int digit = number % 10;
            reverse = reverse * 10 +

Statistical Inference Solutions: Estimation and Hypothesis Testing

Q1 True/False (each needs a quick justification)

Q1(a) Binomial(100, 0.2) approximated by Normal N(20,16)

Steps:

  1. Identify: X ~ Bin(n=100, p=0.2).

  2. Compute mean: μ = np = 100(0.2) = 20.

  3. Compute variance: σ² = np(1−p) = 100(0.2)(0.8) = 16.

  4. Rule: For large n, Binomial ≈ Normal with same mean/variance (CLT-ish approximation).

  5. Conclusion: Yes, approximate with N(20,16).

Q1(b) MAP estimator equals argmax log posterior

Steps:

  1. MAP definition: θ̂MAP = argmaxθ f(θ|x).

  2. Taking log does not move the maximizer

Human Reproduction: Stages and Systems

Human Reproduction Characteristics

Human reproduction is sexual and has two main characteristics:

  • The new individual is formed from a single cell, called a zygote.
  • A zygote originates from the union (fertilization) of two gametes or sex cells.

Humans have two kinds of gametes: sperm and ova. Men produce sperm, and women produce ova.

Puberty

Puberty begins in men with the first ejaculation (spermarche) and in women when the first menstruation takes place (menarche). This process is regulated by Follicle

Key Concepts in Modern Political Philosophy: Kant, Rousseau, Mill, and Hegel

Kant’s Views on Modernity

Immanuel Kant occupies a central position in the intellectual history of modernity. His political and philosophical project can be understood as an attempt to define the essence of the “modern” age as one grounded in autonomy, rationality, and moral self-legislation. For Kant, modernity is not merely a chronological period but an attitude—a transformation in human consciousness wherein individuals learn to think for themselves, free from the tutelage of traditional

Maximizing Efficiency in Energy Transformation Processes

The Fundamentals of Energy Conversion Processes

Energy conversion processes consist of transforming the energy available in fuels or natural sources into useful forms such as electricity, heat, or mechanical power. All power plants—whether steam, gas, nuclear, or renewable—base their operation on energy transfers between different stages. Each of these transformations is limited by thermodynamic laws that determine the maximum achievable efficiency.
