1 cm : 50 km
Multiply both sides by 7.3*
7.3 cm : 365 km

*you can do this according to the multiplication property of equality

Answer:

10.29 u

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given :- </u>

Two points (7,4) and (-2,9) is given to us.

And we need to find out the distance between the two points . So , here we can use the distance formula to find out the distance. As,

$:\implies$ D = √{(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²}

$:\implies$ D =√[ (7+2)² +(9-4)²]

$:\implies$ D =√[ 9² +5²]

$:\implies$ D =√[ 81 +25]

$:\implies$ D = 10.29

<h3>Hence the distance between the two points is 10.29 units .</h3>

A source of information randomly generates symbols from a four letter alphabet {w, x, y, z }. The probability of each symbol is

koban [17]

The expected length of code for one encoded symbol is

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha\ell_\alpha$

where $p_\alpha$ is the probability of picking the letter $\alpha$ , and $\ell_\alpha$ is the length of code needed to encode $\alpha$ . $p_\alpha$ is given to us, and we have

$\begin{cases}\ell_w=1\\\ell_x=2\\\ell_y=\ell_z=3\end{cases}$

so that we expect a contribution of

$\dfrac12+\dfrac24+\dfrac{2\cdot3}8=\dfrac{11}8=1.375$

bits to the code per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would then expect $E[L]=1.375n$ .

By definition of variance, we have

$\mathrm{Var}[L]=E\left[(L-E[L])^2\right]=E[L^2]-E[L]^2$

For a string consisting of one letter, we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha{\ell_\alpha}^2=\dfrac12+\dfrac{2^2}4+\dfrac{2\cdot3^2}8=\dfrac{15}4$

so that the variance for the length such a string is

$\dfrac{15}4-\left(\dfrac{11}8\right)^2=\dfrac{119}{64}\approx1.859$

"squared" bits per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would get $\mathrm{Var}[L]=1.859n$ .
