A detective agency is looking to bust an arms sale. According to available intelligence, the sale is likely to happen in one of

the three locations A, B, or C. Historical patterns indicate that P(A) (the likelihood that the sale will happen at A) is twice that of P(B), and likewise, P(B) = 2P(C). What is the probability distribution of the arms sale happening in these 3 places? Let us denote the location of the sale with a memoryless source X, i.e., X takes values ‘A’, ’B’, ’C’, with probabilities P(A), P(B), and P(C) respectively. Calculate it’s entropy H(X) in bits. Note that H(X) represents the amount of uncertainty in the location of the sale. The director of the agency is not very happy with the level of uncertainty. So he looks up recent covert transmissions for hints. He finds a recent coded message from agent Atomic Blonde which indicates that the sale will not happen at C. Let us denote the message from agent Blonde as Y , and in this case Y ="not C". Given this information, what is the new uncertainty H(X|Y = "not C")?

Answer:

Probability Distribution={(A, 4/7), (B, 2/7), (C, 1/7)}

H(X)=5.4224 bits per symb

H(X|Y="not C")=0.54902 bits per symb

Explanation:

P(B)=2P(C)

P(A)=2P(B)

But

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1

4P(C)+2P(C)+P(C)=1

P(C)=1/7

Then

P(A)=4/7

P(B)=2/7

Probability Distribution={(A, 4/7), (B, 2/7), (C, 1/7)}

iii

If X={A,B,C}

and P(Xi)={4/7,2/7,1/7}

where  Id =logarithm to base  2

Entropy, H(X)=-{P(A) Id P(A) +P(B) Id P(B) + P(C) Id P(C)}

=-{(1/7)Id1/7 +(2/7)Id(2/7) +(4/7)Id(4/7)}

=5.4224 bits  per symb

if P(C)  =0

P(A)=2P(B)

P(B)=1/3

P(A)=2/3

H(X|Y="not C")= -(1/3)Id(I/3) -(2/3)Id(2/3)

=0.54902 bits per symb

Write a method called removeHighPrice that will go through a provided ArrayList called prices and removes the first price that i
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The method written in Java is as follows:

public static ArrayList<Double> removeHighPrice (ArrayList<Double> prices){

       for(int i =0;i<prices.size();i++){

     if(prices.get(i) > 5.00){

         prices.remove(i);  

         break;

     }

 }

 return(prices);  

 }

Explanation:

This line declares the method

public static ArrayList<Double> removeHighPrice (ArrayList<Double> prices){

This line iterates through the ArrayList named prices

       for(int i =0;i<prices.size();i++){

This checks if current price is greater than 5

     if(prices.get(i) > 5.00){

If yes, the price is removed

         prices.remove(i);  

And the loop is terminated

         break;

     }

 }

This returns the ArrayList

 return(prices);  

 }

Why is John Von Neumann to a remarkable name?<br>si​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

John von Neumann is remarkable for his vast knowledge of mathematics, and the sciences as well as his ability to correlate the pure and applied sciences.

Explanation:

John von Neumann who was born on December 28 1903, and died on February 8,1957 was known for his extensive knowledge of mathematics, physics, computer, economics, and statistics. In computing, he was known to conceive the idea of the self-replicating machines that thrive in the automata cellular environment, the von Neumann architecture, stochastic computing and linear programming.

He developed the game theory in Economics, and laid the foundation for several mathematical theories. He contributed greatly to quantum mechanics and quantum physics. Little wonder, he was dubbed "the last representative of the great mathematicians."
