... Hint: You might find it helpful to use a set of indicator variables that are defined in terms of whether a bit switch occurred in each position of the string. Interesting Background: The number of bit switches can be one indicator of how compressible a string might be: for example if the bit string ...

Activity overview
... Independent: Each time a coin is tossed it is an independent event since the outcome of the first toss does not influence the result of the second toss. Not Independent: Picking cards from a standard deck of cards is not independent since knowing the outcome of the first draw does change the probabi ...

Basic Concepts of Discrete Probability
... Bayes’ Theorem • Let we are given a priori information that E has occurred and the conditional probabilities P{E|A1} and P{E|A2} (a priori probabilities) are assumed to be known. • The Bayes’s problem is formulated as follows: how likely is that A1 and A2 has occurred because of the occurrence of E ...
