Question

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information; Let's assume that  R should represent the set of all possible outcomes generated from  a bit string of length 10 .

So; as each place is fitted with either 0 or 1

$\mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}$

Similarly; the event E signifies the randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0

Now;

if  a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely

The probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely is;

$\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{|E|}{|R|}}$

so ; if bits string should not contain a 0 and all other places should be occupied by 1; Then:

$\mathbf{{|E|}=1 }$   ; $\mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}$

$\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}}$
