1 2 A box contains two coins: a regular coin with P(H)=; and a biased coin with P(H)=; Choose one of the coins at random and toss it once. Then X is a Bernoulli random variable associated with this toss: X =1 if the first toss is heads and X = 0 if it's tails. Then take the remaining coin from the box and toss it once. The random variable Y is a Bernoulli random variable associated with the second coin toss. a. Find fxy (x, y), the joint probability mass function of X and Y. b. Find the marginal distributions for X , fx(x), and for Y , f,(y). c. Show that X and Y are or are not independent.

A QR code photographed in poor lighting, so that it can be difficult to distinguish black and white pixels. The gray color (X) in each pixel is therefore coded on a scale from 0 (white) to 100 (black). The true pixel value (without shadow) the code is Y = 0 for white, and Y = 1 for black. We treat X and Y as random variables. For the highlighted pixel in the figure is the gray color X = 20 and the true pixel value is white, i.e. Y = 0. We assume that QR codes are designed so that, on average, there are as many white as black pixels, which means that pY (0) = pY (1) = 1/2. In this situation, X is continuously distributed (0 ≤ X ≤ 100) and Y is discretely distributed, but we can still think about the simultaneous distribution of X and Y. We start by defining the conditional density of X, given the value of Y : fX|Y(x|0) = "Pixel is really white" fX|Y(x|1) =" Pixel is really balck " Use Bayes formula as given in the picture and find the probability for x = 20 like in the picture.
pruary 20 Ch. 4 Homework Assignm #88: A school newspaper reporter decides to randomly survey 13 students to see if they will attend Tet (Vietnamese New Year) festivities this year. Based on past years, she knows that 19% of students attend Tet festivities. We are interested in the number of students who will attend the festivities. (Bold #'s are randomized.). a.

3. Let X be the random variable that takes on the integers {0, 1, 2, ..., 15} with equal probabilities. Define a new random variable Y = X + A, where A is a random variable that takes on the values {-1, 0, 1} with equal probabilities. If the RVs X and A are independent, find the mutual information between X and Y.
