Consider an unreliable communication channel that can successfully send a message with probability 1/2, or otherwise, the messag

e is lost with probability 1/2. How many times do we need to transmit the message over this unreliable channel so that with probability 63/64 the message is received at least once? Explain your answer.
Hint: treat this as a Bernoulli process with a probability of success 1/2. The question is equivalent to: how many times do you have to try until you get at least one success?

Answer:

6 times we need to transmit the message over this unreliable channel so that with probability 63/64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x is the number of times massage received.

It is given that the probability of successfully is 1/2.

Thus p = 1/2 and q = 1/2

We want the number of times do we need to transmit the message over this unreliable channel so that with probability 63/64 the message is received at least once.

According to the binomial distribution:

P(X=x)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}p^rq^{n-r}

We want message is received at least once. This can be written as:

P(X\geq 1)=1-P(x=0)

The probability of at least once is given as 63/64 we need to find the number of times we need to send the massage.

\frac{63}{64}=1-\frac{n!}{0!(n-0)!}\frac{1}{2}^0\frac{1}{2}^{n-0}

\frac{63}{64}=1-\frac{n!}{n!}\frac{1}{2}^{n}

\frac{63}{64}=1-\frac{1}{2}^{n}

\frac{1}{2}^{n}=1-\frac{63}{64}

\frac{1}{2}^{n}=\frac{1}{64}

By comparing the value number we find that the value of n should be 6.

Hence, 6 times we need to transmit the message over this unreliable channel so that with probability 63/64.

If you have 1275 ÷ 4, you write it as shown, with 1275 on the inside and 4 on the outside. then you go digit by digit and find how many times 4 goes into the number. it goes into 1 zero times, so an imaginary 0 is put in the first spot above the 1. next, 4 goes into 12 three times, so 3 is written above the 2. After that, subtract 4×3 from 12, which leaves 0, and bring down the 7. 4 goes into 7 once with a remainder of 3, so a 1 is put up top and the 5 brought down next to the three. 4 goes into 35 eight times with a remainder of 3,so 8 is written up top. the 3 is the remainder, written as R3. so your answer is 1274÷4= 318 R3.
Hope this helps.

A car depreciated $2000 each year it was owned and driven. What type of depreciation is this?
Greeley [361]
Straight line depreciation, the value of the car is given by the following equation, where V is the value of the car, and O is the original value of the car, and x is the number of years since buying the car. V=O-2x This equation follows the form of a straight line, that is: y=mx+b

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

3a – 4b + 6c – 3d

when a = 5 b = 4 c = 3 d = 2

the value

= 3×5 - 4×4 + 6×3 - 3×2

=15-16+18-6

=11
