We wish to modify the cellular telephone coding system in order to reduce the number of errors. In particular, if there are two or three zeroes in the received sequence of 5 bits, we will say that a deletion (event D) occurs. Otherwise, if at least 4 zeroes are received, then the receiver decides a zero was sent. Similarly, if at least 4 ones are received, then the receiver decides a one was sent. We say that an error occurs if either a one was sent and the receiver decides zero was sent or if a zero was sent and the receiver decides a one was sent. For this modified protocol, what is the probability P[E] of an error? What is the probability P[D] of a deletion?
Solution :
Here, we have 5 trails that corresponds to the 5 times the binary symbol is sent. On each trail, success is said to occur when the binary symbol is received correctly. The probability of a success is p = 1 - q = 0.9 and q = 0.1
Now if the 0 is being transmitted, then the 0 is sent 5 number of times and then we call the decoding a 0 success. Let the repeated transmission are independent. In this case, we have 5 trails. Let each repeated bit the receiver decodes as 1 a success, using the binomial probabilities. We using the [tex]$S_{k,5}$[/tex] to denote an event of [tex]$k$[/tex] successes in the 5 trails, then the probability k are decoded at the receiver is:
[tex]$P[S_{k,5}]=\binom{5}{k}p^k(1-p)^{5-k}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\binom{5}{k}(0.9)^k(1-0.9)^{5-k}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\binom{5}{k}(0.9)^k(0.1)^{5-k}$[/tex]
Here, k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The probability of the transmitted bit to be decoded correctly is:
[tex]$P[C]=P[S_{5,5}]+P[S_{2,5}]$[/tex]
[tex]$=\binom{5}{3}(0.9)^5(0.1)^{0}+\binom{5}{4}(0.9)^4(0.1)^1$[/tex]
[tex]$=(0.9)^5+5(0.9)^4(0.1)^1$[/tex]
= 0.91854
The probability that the deletion occurs is
[tex]$P[D]=P[S_{3,5}]+P[S_{2,5}]$[/tex]
[tex]$=\binom{5}{3}(0.9)^3(0.1)^{2}+\binom{5}{2}(0.9)^2(0.1)^3$[/tex]
[tex]$=10(0.9)^3(0.1)^2+10(0.9)^2(0.1)^3$[/tex]
= 0.081
The probability of an error is
[tex]$P[E]=P[S_{1,5}]+P[S_{0,5}]$[/tex]
[tex]$=\binom{5}{1}(0.9)^1(0.1)^{4}+\binom{5}{0}(0.9)^0(0.1)^5$[/tex]
[tex]$=5(0.9)^1(0.1)^4+(0.1)^5$[/tex]

A rocket fired upward from some initial distance above the ground. Its height (in feet) h, above the ground t seconds after it is fired is given by h(t)=-16t^2+160t+384
What is the rockets maximum height?
After it is fired, The rocket reaches the ground at t=____ seconds
Answer:
Part A)
784 feet in the air (after five seconds).
Part B)
After 12 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height h (in feet) of a rocket t seconds after being fired is modeled by the function:
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+160t+384[/tex]
Part A)
We want to find the rocket's maximum height.
Since our function is a quadratic, the maximum height will occur at its vertex. The vertex of a quadratic is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\, f\Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\Big)\Big)[/tex]
In this case, a = -16, b = 160, and c = 384.
So, the vertex occurs at:
[tex]\displaystyle t=-\frac{160}{2(-16)}=\frac{160}{32}=5\text{ seconds}[/tex]
The maximum height is reached after five seconds.
Then the maximum height is:
[tex]h(t)_\text{max}=h(5)=-16(5)^2+160(5)+384=784\text{ feet}[/tex]
Part B)
When the rocket reaches the ground, its height h above the ground will be 0. Hence:
[tex]h(t)_\text{ground}=0=-16t^2+160t+384[/tex]
Solve for t. We can first divide both sides by -16:
[tex]t^2-10t-24=0[/tex]
Factor:
[tex](t-12)(t+2)=0[/tex]
Zero Product Property:
[tex]t-12=0\text{ or } t+2=0[/tex]
Solve for each case:
[tex]t=12\text{ or } t=-2[/tex]
Time cannot be negative. Hence, our only solution is:
[tex]t=12\text{ seconds}[/tex]
The rocket reaches the ground 12 seconds after it is fired.
Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the common difference / ratio in simplest form. 2,5,8,... ?
Answer:
Arithmetic sequence with common difference of 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
The difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.
Geometric sequence:
The quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, and this quotient is called common ratio.
In this question:
5 - 2 = 8 - 5 = 3
5/2 = 2.5 different of 8/5 = 1.6
This means that it is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 3.

A farmer plans to grow wheat and corn. Each acre of wheat requires 4 hours of labor and $20 of capital, and each acre of corn requires 16 hours of labor and $40 of capital. The farmer has at most 800 hours of labor and $2400 of capital available. If the profit from an acre of wheat is $80 and from an acre of corn is $100, how many acres of each crop should she plant to maximize her profit?
Answer:
To maximize profits, the farmer should plant 120 acres of wheat, and no acre of corn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a farmer plans to grow wheat and corn, and each acre of wheat requires 4 hours of labor and $ 20 of capital, and each acre of corn requires 16 hours of labor and $ 40 of capital, and the farmer has at most 800 hours of labor and $ 2400 of capital available, if the profit from an acre of wheat is $ 80 and from an acre of corn is $ 100, to determine how many acres of each crop should she plant to maximize her profit the following calculation must be performed:
Knowing that each acre of wheat has a 50% lower capital cost, 75% lower hours and a 20% lower profit, in principle this would be the crop to be planted to obtain better yields.
2400/20 = 120
120 x 4 = 480
120 x 80 = 9,600
Thus, to maximize profits, the farmer should plant 120 acres of wheat, and no acre of corn.

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure during the one-year period ending in February 2008 (The Washington Post, June 19, 2008). Over the past year, the number of foreclosures per 10,000 homes is 131 for the Washington area, while it is 87 nationally. In other words, the foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area and 0.87% for the nation. Assume that the foreclosure rates remain stable.
Required:
a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?
b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?
c. Comment on the above findings.
Answer:
a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.
b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.
c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?
The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that [tex]p = 0.0131[/tex]
We wanto to find, with [tex]n = 100[/tex]:
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226[/tex]
0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.
b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?
Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that [tex]p = 0.0087[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837[/tex]
0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.
c. Comment on the above findings.
The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.
