Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if:a) a

0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likelyb) the probability that a bit is a 1 is 0.6c) the probability that the i-th bit is a 1 is 1/(2^i) for i=1,2,3,...,10

Answer:

A) 0.0009765625

B) 0.0060466176

C) 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This problem follows a binomial distribution. The number of successes among a fixed number of trials is; n = 10

If a 0 bit and 1 bit are equally likely, then the probability to select in 1 bit is; p = 1/2 = 0.5

Now the definition of binomial probability is given by;

P(K = x) = C(n, k)•p^(k)•(1 - p)^(n - k)

Now, we want the definition of this probability at k = 10.

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.5^(10)•(1 - 0.5)^(10 - 10)

P(x = 10) = 0.0009765625

B) here we are given that p = 0.6 while n remains 10 and k = 10

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.6^(10)•(1 - 0.6)^(10 - 10)

P(x=10) = 0.0060466176

C) we are given that;

P((x_i) = 1) = 1/(2^(i))

Where i = 1,2,3.....,n

Now, the probability for the different bits is independent, so we can use multiplication rule for independent events which gives;

P(x = 10) = P((x_1) = 1)•P((x_2) = 1)•P((x_3) = 1)••P((x_4) = 1)•P((x_5) = 1)•P((x_6) = 1)•P((x_7) = 1)•P((x_8) = 1)•P((x_9) = 1)•P((x_10) = 1)

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(1))]•[1/(2^(2))]•[1/(2^(3))]•[1/(2^(4))]....•[1/(2^(10))]

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(55))]

P(x = 10) = 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

Answer:

B, x≥2

Step-by-step explanation:

54 - 10x ≤ 20 + 7x - subtract 20

34 - 10x ≤ 7x - add 10x to 7x

34 ≤ 17x - divide 34 by 7

2 ≤ x - flip the equation - x ≥ 2

Hope this is helpful!

Graph the line that has a slope of 6 and includes the point (0,4).
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line with slope 6 and containing the point (0, 4) will be:

y = 6x+4

The graph of the line y = 6x+4 is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • The slope m = 6
  • The point (0, 4)

The y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding value of y.

The point (0, 4) indicates that:

at x = 0, y = 4

Thus, the y-intercept b = 4

now substituting b = 4 and m = 6 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = 6x+4

Thus, the equation of the line with slope 6 and containing the point (0, 4) will be:

y = 6x+4

The graph of the line y = 6x+4 is attached below.
