[Community Question] Statistics: Find skewed standard distribution given the mean and bounds for the other values

One of our user asked:

I am working on a project but need to find a skewed standard distribution, and we can't figure out how.

We have two variables: $p$, which is a probability and $PV$ which is an integer variable between 0 and 10 There are two demands that need to be meeted:

  1. The mean must lay at $PV \cdot p$
  2. The values with non-zero probability must lay between 0 and PV.

Is it possible to accomplish this? And how? (If somebody has a tip how to implement it in Python, let me know)

[Community Question] Calculus: Manifold with boundary - finding the boundary

One of our user asked: I have the manifold with boundary $M:= \lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1\geq 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace \cup\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^3 : x_1= 0, x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2\leq1\rbrace$ and I need to find the boundary of this manifold. I think it is $\lbrace (x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb R^n : x_1= 0, x_2^2+x_3^2=1\rbrace$ , the other option is that the boundary is the empty set? I think the first is right? Am I wrong?

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).
