The minimun number of components that must be connected in parallel is.
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.
Cards are picked sequentially without replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards until either all SPADES are found or all CLUBS are found. Let X denote the number of cards picked. Find E(X) using indicator random variables.
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.

Chapters: Normal and Exponential random variables. Q: There exist naturally occurring random variables that are neither discrete nor continuous. Suppose a group of people is waiting for one more person to arrive before starting a meeting. Suppose that the arrival time of the person is exponential with mean 4 minutes, and that the meeting will start either when the person arrives or after 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Let X denote the length of time the group waits before starting the meeting. - a. Find P(0

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is tth, then N (tth)=2. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=N²-2N-2. The values of X are given in the table below.
