3. QR codes: Start by reading the text under Figure 1. We will generally consider X and Y as random
variables. For the highlighted pixel in the figure, the gray color X = 25 and the true pixel value white,
i.e. Y = 0. We assume that QR codes are made so that there are on average 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 talk about the simultaneous distribution of X and Y. We start by defining the conditional density
of X, given the value of Y:
ONO
fx|x(x | 0) =
fx|x (x | 1) =

Figure 1: QR code photographed in poor lighting, making it 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) is coded Y=0 for white, and Y = 1 for black.
P(Y=0 | X = x) =
(a) Make a plot of the marginal density fx(x) = Eyfxy(x1y)Py (y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 100
Bayes' formula in this situation takes the form:
fxy(x0)Py(0)
fx (x)
(b) Use Bayes' formula to find the probability of white when x = 25 as in the figure.
