Transcribed Image Text:A simple binary communication channel carries messages by using two signals 0 and 1.It was assumed that for
a given binary channel, 40% of the time a lis transmitted; the probability that a transmitted 0 is correctly
received is 0.90; the probability that lis correctly received 0.95. This information is illustrated in Figure 1
where
A = event that
1 is transmitted.
= event that
0 is transmitted.
B = event that 1 is received.
= eve t that
0 is received.

- Suppose that an employee at a local company checks his watch and realizes that he has 10 minutes to get to work on time. If he leaves now and does not get stopped by any traffic lights, he will arrive at work in exactly 8 minutes. In between his house and his work there are three traffic lights, A, B, and C. Each light that stops him will cause him to arrive an additional 2 minutes later. The following table displays the probability that he is stopped by each of the three traffic lights. Assume that the probability that he is stopped by any given light is independent of the probability that he is stopped by any other light.

If it is sunny today, then the probability is 3/4 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/8 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/8 that it will be rainy. If it is cloudy today, then the probability is 1/2 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/4 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/4 that it will be rainy. If it is rainy today, then the probability is 1/4 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/2 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/4 that it will be rainy. cloudy is From this Markov model, for any given day the probability that it will be sunny is rainy is Round your answers to three decimal places. andarrow_forward
