Suppose two end hosts, A and B, are connected by 10 links, each with packet loss probability p (0 < p < 1), and the loss probabilities for these links are independent. What is the probability that a packet sent form A is received successfully at the receiver B? Please type answer no write by hend.
2. Iron bars produced by a machine can either be classified as "Good" with probability p, or "Bad" with probability q = 1- p. The quality of each iron bar produced is independent of each other. (a) Suppose there are n iron bars produced by the machine. Write down the probability that there are exactly r "Good" iron bars among the n of them for all positive integers r. (b) Suppose the machine keeps producing iron bars until k "Good" ones are obtained. Let X be the total number of iron bars produced. Show that the probability mass function of X is given by Px(x) = (x − 1) ₁² (1 - p)² -*. x=k, k +1,.... (c) In a single day, the machine produces exactly N = n iron bars, where N has mean and variance given by E(N) = a, Var(N) = 3. Let W be the total number of "Good" iron bars produced in a single day. i. Find E(W) and Var(W) in terms of p, a and 3. You can use the mean and variance of any standard distributions without proof as long as you state them clearly. ii. Determine the covariance…
In the spreading of a rumour, each person who is told the rumour has probability p of believing it and only those who believe the rumour will pass it on. Assume that all individuals behave independently of each other and the rumour is never told to someone who has already heard it. Assume also that each person who is told the rumour and believes it on the n-th day will pass the rumour on to two other people on the (n + 1)-st day. Suppose that the rumour originates on day 1 from a single individual telling the rumour to two other people. Let Zo = 1 and for n ≥ 1 denote by Z₁, the number of people who are told the rumour on day n and believe it. (i) Explain why (Zn)nzo is a branching process. (ii) Find the probability mass function and the probability generating function of Z₁. (iii) What is the probability that the spread of the rumour ultimately ceases? (iv) For what values of p is the spread of the rumour certain to cease eventually? (v) For n ≥ 1 show that P(Zn = 2") = p2¹ +22+ +2″
Pacific salmon populations have discrete breeding cycles in which they return from the ocean to streams to reproduce and then die. This occurs every one to five years, depending on the species. (a) Suppose that each fish must first survive predation by bears while swimming upstream, and predation occurs with probability d. After swimming upstream, each fish produces b offspring before dying. The stream is then stocked with m additional newly hatched fish before all fish then swim out to sea. What is the discrete-time recursion for the population dynamics, assuming that there is no mortality while at sea? You should count the population immediately before the upstream journey. nt + 1 = (b) Suppose that, instead of preying on fish while they swim upstream, bears do so only while the fish are swimming downstream. What is the discrete-time recursion for the population dynamics? (Again assume there is no mortality while at sea.) nt+1 (c) Which of the recursions obtained in parts (a) and (b)…
sketch a 5-input, 3-output switching element. time is slotted and synchronized for inputs. One slot holds at most one packet. A packet arrival processes to each input are Bernoulli (with arrival probability p for a packet in each slot and non arrival probability 1-p in each slot) (a) write an expression for the probability of one or more arrivals in a slot. (b) find the throughput at the output (c) write an expression for the probability in a slot that the top 3 inputs have packets and the bottom 2 doesn't have a packet. (d) for what values of p is the probability of 2 arrivals at the input greater than the probability of ine arrival at the inputs?
