EX 1

The following MATLAB algorithm was created to solve the proposed problem.

1) clear calculated data in previous run

2) clear text from the command window
3) create a 10x10 matrix with random numbers between 1 and 100 using the randi() function
4) calculate the sum of each of the rows using the sum() function
5) check if a row sums up to a number greater than 500
6) sum and return the number of rows that sum up to a number greater than 500 using the greater
than operator
7) display the value of rows that sum up to a number greater than 500

Appendix A below has several simulations with the corresponding code.

Ex 2

Let x be the fraction of occupied houses and y fraction of unoccupied houses.

• For N = 0, N = 1, y = 0 since no or only one house is occupied
• For N > 1:
▪ If N is even: x = 0.5, thus 𝑦 = 0.5
𝑁 𝑁 𝑁
▪ If N is odd: x = 2
+ 1, thus 𝑦 = 𝑁 − ( 2 + 1) = 2

• As N goes to infinity:
▪ If N is even: lim (0.5) = 0.5
𝑁→∞
𝑁
▪ If N is odd: lim ( 2 − 1) = ∞ − 1 = ∞
𝑁→∞
Appendix A

1) clear all
2) clc
3) Mat= randi([1,100],10,10);
4) S=sum(A,2);
5) Check=(S>500);
6) Nb=sum(Check);
7) display=sprintf('Number of rows whose sum is greater than 500 = %d
%d',Nb);
