The other format for straight-line equations is called the "point-slope" form. For this one, they give you a point <span>(x1, y1)</span><span> and a slope </span>m, and have you plug it into this formula:

<span><span>y </span>–<span> y</span>1<span> = m</span>(<span>x </span>–<span> x</span>1)</span>

Don't let the subscripts scare you. They are just intended to indicate the point they give you. You have the generic "x" and generic "y<span>" that are always in your equation, and then you have the specific </span>x<span> and </span>y<span> from the point they gave you; the specific </span>x<span> and </span>y<span> are what is subscripted in the formula. Here's how you use the point-slope formula:</span>

<span><span>Find the equation of the straight line that has slope </span><span>m = 4</span><span> and passes through
the point </span>(–1, –6).</span><span><span>This is the same line that I found on the </span>previous page<span>, so I already know what the answer is (namely, </span><span>y = 4x – 2</span>). But let's see how the process works with the point-slope formula.<span>They've given me </span><span>m = 4, x1 = –1,</span><span> and </span><span>y1 = –6</span>.  I'll plug these values into the point-slope form, and solve for "<span>y=</span>":<span><span><span>y </span>–<span> y</span>1 = m(<span>x </span>–<span> x</span>1)
y – (–6) = (4)(x – (–1))
y + 6 = 4(x + 1)
y + 6 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 4 – 6</span><span>y = 4x – 2</span> Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2000-2011 All Rights Reserved</span></span>

This matches the result I got when I plugged into the slope-intercept form. This shows that it really doesn't matter which method you use (unless the text or teacher specifies). You can get the same answer either way, so use whichever method works more comfortably for you.

A sequence of 1 million iid symbols(+1 and +2), Xi, are transmitted through a channel and summed to produce a new random variabl
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

E(w) = 1600000

v(w) = 240000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sequence = 1 million iid  (+1 and +2)

probability of transmitting a +1 =  0.4

solution

sequence will be here as

P{Xi = k } = 0.4              for k = +1

                  0.6              for k = +2

and define is

x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000

so for expected value for W

E(w) = E( x1  + x2 + ................ +  X1000000 )   ......................1

as per the linear probability of expectation

E(w) = 1000000 ( 0.4 × 1 + 0.6 × 2)

E(w) = 1600000

and

for variance of W

v(w) = V ( x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000 )    ..........................2

v(w) = V x1  + V x2 + ................  + V  X1000000

here also same as that xi are i.e d so cov(xi, xj ) = 0 and i ≠ j

so

v(w) = 1000000 ( v(x) )

v(w) = 1000000 ( 0.24)

v(w) = 240000
