(4) (a) Show that the entropy of a "fair" coin flip event (equal probability of headsor tails) is 0.693 kB (or S/kB = 0.693). Hint: we did this in Chemistry 2102! (b) Showthat a "rigged" coin flip (such as a 90% chance of getting heads, 10% chance of tails)gives a lower entropy than this value. Calculate what this entropy is. (c) Why is theentropy lower in part (b) compared to part (a)?

Given information: The 3 colour preferences are blue, green and red. The required probabilities of 3…

Suppose that there are two identically-looking batteries in a box. The first one should last for a time that is exponentially distributed with parameter λ1 = 1 (in months). The second one should last for a time that is exponentially distributed with parameter λ2 = 2. A battery has been picked randomly and is still working after two months. Given this information, what is the probability that the first battery was picked?

Suppose that the length of time spent by a student with a professor during office hours in minutes is an exponential r.v. with parameter ?=1/10. This professor only sees students in the office hour one at a time. Thus, if you arrive to the office and there is someone inside, you have to wait. Consider 5 randomly chosen days in which you visit the professor's office during the office hour period and someone arrives immediately ahead of you. What is the probability that in one of those days you will have to wait between 10 and 20 minutes?
It is equally probable that two signals reach a receiver at any instant of the time T. The receiver will be jammed if the time difference in the reception of the two signals is less than T. Find the probability that the receiver will be jammed.
Two chemists created a new way to convert unobtainium [Uo] into canotainium [Cn]. After many experiments, they gathered some data about the probability of producing specific amounts of [Cn] at the end of one run of the conversion process. This is their data: and [Cn] (in mg) po 2 7 10 0 0.07 0.13 0.16 0.21 Here: dp d[Cn]' p([Cn]) is the probability of ending up with [Cn]mg of canobtainium after one run of the conversion process. The chemists also know that: • There is 0.07 probability of finishing the conversion process with no [Cn], and • There is a 0.69 probability of finishing the conversion process with 10mg of [Cn]. They need to compute the expected production of [C'n] over one run of the conversion process. Because the rate of change is continuous (even though the data they gathered is not), they decide to use a formula they found in an old dusty statistics textbook: expected value= [*[Cn] ·p([Cn)) d[Cn], 1 ba image 1 which in this case becomes
Time left 0:59:38 A system is made up of three components connected in parallel. If each component has a probability 0.79 of working and components work independently. Determine the probability that exactly two components are working. [The answer should be a number rounded to five decimal places, don't use symbols such as %] Im

A machine consists of two components: A and B. The machine needs both components to operate. As soon as one component breaks the machine fails. The time until component A breaks is an exponential with rate λA = 0.4 per year. The time until component B breaks is an exponential with rate λB = 0.4 per year. The two components are independent. Compute the probability the machine remains functional for at least another 3 years.
The lifetime (in days) of a certain electronic component that operates in a high-temperature environment is lognormally distributed with μ = 1.9 and σ = 0.4. Find the probability that a component lasts between three and six days.
The probability of digit d occurring is Pr (d) =log base 10(1+(1/d)), where d=1,2,3,....9. Calculate Pr(d) for d=1,2,3,...9, check that the sum of all probabilities is one, and graph the probability mass function in excel. Also, show mathematically that summation of Pr(d)=1. You are showing that Beford's Law implies a proper probability mass function.
110 3. Consider throws of a biased coin with probability p of showing a head and q = 1-p of showing a tail. Assume that throws are independent of each other, and let X denote the number of throws until you obtain a head. (a) Write down the probability mass function of X. (b) Find the probability of observing an even number of tails before the first head (0 is counted as even).
