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)

Find the area and perimeter.
lara [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle =  4x - 3 + x + 9 + 8

                                   = <u>4x + x</u> -<u> 3 + 9 + 8</u>

                                  = 5x + 14

Area  = \frac{1}{2}*base *height

         = \dfrac{1}{2}*8*3x\\\\= 4 * 3x\\\\= 12x
