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

Factor to write an equivalent expression.(What is the Greatest Common Factor?).<br><br> −9x+15y
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

GCF is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression -9x + 15y

First, we need to find ther individual factors

-9x = -3 *3 * x

15y = 3 * 5 * y

Since 3 is common to both factors

−9x+15y = 3(-3x+5y)

Hence the GCF is 3

Please help asap !!!!!! what vaule of x makes the equation true 3(x-4)=15
DaniilM [7]

3(x-4) = 15

Distribute the 3:

3x-12 = 15

Add 12 to both sides:

3x = 27

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 9

The answer is D. 9

A quality control officer is randomly checking the weights of pumpkin seed bags being filled by an automatic filling machine. Ea
grandymaker [24]
If a bag of pumpkin seeds must weigh within 2.1 grams in order to be accepted, each bags must weigh between (400-2.1) grams and (400+2.1) grams. This means that if a bag weighs less than 397.9 grams (x<397.9) or more than 402.1 grams (x>402.1) it will be rejected. Therefore, 397.9>x>402.1 is the range of rejected bags.
