7. (10 point bonus- no partial credit) Based on observations, a ran- dom variable is a believed to have a PDF of the form fX (x) = asin^2 x − pi/2 ~ hwmadeeasy
6. (20 points) X (t) is a wide sense stationary process with zero mean and autocorrelation RX (t) = e− a | t | with a = p. We observe Y (t) = X (t) + N (t) where N (t) is a white Gaussian noise process with N0 = 10−5 . X (t) and N (t) are independent. (a) What is the transfer function of the optimum filter for estimat- ing X (t) given Y (t)? (b) What is the mean square error of the optimum filter estimate? ~ hwmadeeasy
4. (20 points) A random variable is defined to be Z = X +Y where X and Y are independent and both U ( −1 , 1). (a) Find the PDF of Z. (b) Use the PDF in part (a) to find the mean and variance of Z. Note that whilte there are other ways of finding these values, you will only receive credit for using the PDF of Z. ~ hwmadeeasy
3. (20 points) A binary bit stream with probability of a 1 being p = 0.25 is used to form “supersymbols” of size 3. (a) Find the probability of each 3 bit number and develop a Huff- man code for it. (b) Find the expected value of the length of a word and the en- tropy. ~ hwmadeeasy
2. (20 points) A Poisson random variable X with parameter l = 1 is used to form the random variable Y = aX + b with a = 3 and b = 1. (a) Find the moment generating function for Y. (b) Use the moment generating function from part (a) to find the mean of Y, µY and the variance of Y, s2 Y. Note that whilte there are other ways of finding these values, you will only receive credit for using the moment generating function. ~ hwmadeeasy
1. (20 points) Answer the following concept questions. (a) If two events are mutually exclusive, are they independent as well? (b) If three events form a partition of a sample space, what is true about the probabilities of those three events? (c) In general, is the conditional probability of two events smaller or larger than the joint probability ? (d) I have calculated that the CDF of a random variable X is 0.1 when x = 1 and 0.09 when x = 2. Do you have enough infor- mation to know if I have done this correctly, and if so, did I get it right ? (e) I have two coins. One is fair and one isn’t. Which one will have the higher entropy ? ~ hwmadeeasy
