    This document contains instructions for a probability and statistics assignment for second year electrical and computer engineering students. It includes 6 questions covering topics like random experiments, binary communication channels, multiple choice tests, Venn diagrams, probability density functions, and expectations. Students are asked to explain how coin flips, dice rolls, and card draws relate to random urn experiments. They also must calculate probabilities for a communication channel, a multiple choice test, and resistor selections. Finally, students need to determine constants, sketch functions, and find expectations for continuous random variables with given probability densities.

    2nd Year 1st Semester Electrical and Computer Engineering Probability and Statistics Assignment
    When you begin answering a question start from on new page or not write at the back of paper

    1) Explain how the following experiments are equivalent to random urn experiments:
    a) Flip a fair coin twice.
    b) Toss a pair of fair dice.
    c) Draw two cards from a deck of 52 distinct cards, with replacement after
    the first draw; without replacement after the first draw.
    2) Consider the binary communication channel shown in Fig. below. The channel input
    symbol X may assume the state 0 or the state 1, and, similarly, the channel output symbol
    Y may assume either the state 0 or the state 1. Because of the channel noise, an input 0
    may convert to an output 1 and vice versa. The channel is characterized by the channel
    transition probabilities p0, q0, p1 and q1 defined by

    Where x0 and x1, denote the events (X = 0) and (X = 1), respectively and y0 and y1, denote the
    events (Y = 0) and (Y = I), respectively.
    Note that p0 + q0 = 1 = p1 + q1. Let P(x0) = 0.5, p0 = 0.1 and p1 = 0.2.
    a) Find P(yo) and P(yl).
    b) If a 0 was observed at the output, what is the probability that a 0 was the input state?
    c) If a 1 was observed at the output, what is the probability that a 1 was the input state?
    Calculate the probability of error Pe.

    3) A multiple-choice test contains 20 questions with answer choice A, B, C and D. Only one
    answer choice to each question represents a correct answer. Find the probability that a
    student will answer exactly 6 questions correct if he makes random guesses on all 20
    questions.
    4) In a box there are 100 resistors having resistance and tolerance as shown in the following
    table. Let a resistor be selected from the box and assume each resistor has the same
    likelihood of being chosen. Define three events A as draw a 47𝛺 resistor, B as draw a
    resistor with 5% tolerance and C as draw a 100Ω resistor.
    Find 𝑃 (𝐴⁄B), 𝑃 (𝐴⁄C) and 𝑃 (𝐵⁄C).

    5) Let X be a continuous r.v. X with pdf

    Where k is a constant
    a. Determine the value of k and sketch fX(x).
    b. Find and sketch the corresponding cdf Fx(x).
    1
    c. Find P(4 < 𝑋 ≤ 2).

    6) A continuous random variable X has probability density given by

    Find (a) E(X)


    (b) E(X2).
