Expert verified

a) The computation of E[R]is μ.

b) The computation of Var(R)is σ2+1

c) Yes, Ris normally distributed

d) The computation ofCov(R,S)isσ2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

S=Signal Sent

R=Signal received

E[R]=?

02

Explanation (Part a) 

From the information, observe that the signal is sent from point AAccording to the distribution S~Nμ,σ2

While it gets to the point B, the little error εhas been made to the original signal.

So, the received signal Scan be written as R=S+ε

Where, ε~N(0,1)

Signal that is sent is independent from the error.

Calculate E(R),

E(R)=E(S)+E(ε)

=μ+0

=μ

03

Final Answer (Part a)

Hence, the value ofE[R]isμ.

04

Given Information (Part b)

S=Signal sent

R=Signal received

Var(R)=?

05

Explanation (Part b)

Calculate variance:

V(R)=V(S)+V(ε)

role="math" localid="1647434029229" =σ2+1

06

Final Answer (Part b)

Hence, the value ofVar(R)isσ2+1

07

Given Information (Part c)

S=Signal Sent

R=Signal received

08

Explanation (Part c) 

Yes.

Ris normally distributed.

Since Rcan be written was the sum of two independent normally distributed random variables.

Hence, the sum is also normally distributed random variables with parameters are as follows:

N~Nμ,σ2+1

09

Final Answer (Part c)

Therefore,Ris normally distributed.

10

Given Information (Part d)

S=Signal sent

R=Signal received

Cov(R,S)=?

11

Explanation (Part d)

Calculate

=Var(S)+Cov(ε,S)

role="math" localid="1647434711595" =Var(S)

=σ2

12

Final Answer (Part d)

Therefore,Cov(R,S)is σ2.

Consider an urn containing a large number of coins, and suppose that each of the coins has some probability p of turning up heads when it is flipped. However, this value of pvaries from coin to coin. Suppose that the composition of the urn is such that if a coin is selected at random from it, then the p-value of the coin can be regarded as being the value of a random variable that is uniformly distributed over 0,1. If a coin is selected at random from the urn and flipped twice, compute the probability that

a. The first flip results in a head;

b. both flips result in heads.

Consider n independent flips of a coin having probability p of landing on heads. Say that a changeover occurs whenever an outcome differs from the one preceding it. For instance, if n=5 and the outcome isHHTHT, then there are 3 changeovers. Find the expected number of changeovers. Hint: Express the number of changeovers as the sum of n−1 Bernoulli random variables.

Repeat Problem 7.68 when the proportion of the population having a value of λless than xis equal to 1-e-x.

The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with meanλ. However, suppose that the value ofλchanges from person to person, being equal to 2for 60percent of the population and 3for the other40percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have

a. We are required to find P(N=0).

b. We are required to find P(N=3).

c. Define Mas the number of accidents in a preceding year. As likely as Nwe are require to find.

Show that Y=a+bX, then

ÒÏ(X,Y)=+1 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…ifb>0−1 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…ifb<0

Let X1,X2,…be a sequence of independent and identically distributed continuous random variables. Let N≥2be such that

X1≥X2≥⋯≥XN-1<XN

That is, Nis the point at which the sequence stops decreasing. Show that E[N]=e.

Hint: First find P{N≥n}.
