A communications channel transmits the digits 0 and 1. However, due to static, the digit transmitted is incorrectly received wit

h probability 0.2. Suppose that we want to transmit a message consisting of one binary digit. To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1. If the receiver of the message uses majority" decoding, what the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded? What independence assumptions are you making?

Answer:

The probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1.

We have 5 bits, message will be corrupt if at least 3 bits are incorrect for the same block.

The digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability p = 0.2

The probability of receiving a digit correctly is q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

We want the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded.

This can be written as:

P(X\geq3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\P(X\geq3) =\frac{5!}{3!2!}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{2}+\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.2)^4(0.8)^{1}+\frac{5!}{5!}(0.2)^5(0.8)^0\\P(X\geq3) =0.05792

Hence, the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain tells you if there are any restrictions on the x's

The -5 in the function tells us that it has moved 5 units RIGHT from the original parent function. Because of this, any x coordinates have to be bigger or equal to 5!

So, the domain of this function is x >/ 5

Hope this helps!

Jolie uses 2 tomatoes every day to prepare her salad. If n equals the number of tomatoes Jolie had before she made her salad and
Tpy6a [65]
The answer is c = n - 2

n - the number of tomatoes before the salad is made
c - the number of tomatoes after the salad is made


<span>Jolie uses 2 tomatoes (n - 2) every day to prepare her salad and then c tomatoes remained: n - 2 = c
</span>Or:
c = n - 2

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 12 dollars plus 7 dollars an hour for renting a bike. Sandy paid 40
alexgriva [62]

x = # of hours the bike was rented.

$40 = $12 + $7x

Subtract $12 from both sides.

$28 = $7x

Divide both sides by $7

4 = x

Sandy rented the bike for 4 hours.
