In the transmission of digital information, the probability that a bit has high, moderate, and low distortion is 0.01, 0.04, and 0.95, respectively. Suppose that three bits are transmitted and that the amount of distortion of each bit is assumed to be independent. Let X and Y denote the number of bits with high and moderate distortion out of the three, respectively. Determine: E(x) =
Suppose that the distribution of the lifespan of an item has the hazard rate function λ(t) = t3.
What is the probability that:
(a) the item survives to age 2?
(b) a 1-year-old item will survive to age 2?
The total probability associated with each value of y is the corresponding column total. We found that for y = 1, the corresponding probability is f(y= 1) = 0.30. When y= 2, f(y= 2) = 0.37, and when y = 3, f(y= 3) = 0.33. Use these values to find the
expected value of y.
E(y) = yf(y)
= 1(0.30) + 2(
3(0.33)
