Prоblem 1. (10 pts) Let (X) be the number оf cаndies present in а bоx. You аre given the following information about (X): There are at most two candies in the box. The probability of having 2 candies in the box is the same as the probability of having zero candy. The probability of having 1 candy in the box is twice the probability of having zero candy. (a) [5 pts] Compute the PMF of (i.e., a valid weight assignment for) (X). (b) [5 pts] Calculate the expectation, (mathbb{E}[2^X]). Problem 2. (10 pts) The Venn diagram provided displays the viewing statistics for a group of sports fans (i.e., probabilities) regarding three Summer 2026 events: the FIFA World Cup ((F)), the US Open ((U)), and Wimbledon ((W)). By convention, the bounding rectangle represents the sample space (S), comprising the entire surveyed population. The three interior circles represent the specific subsets of respondents who viewed each respective sporting event. (a) [5 pts] Given that a fan watches exactly two sporting events, what is the probability that they watch Wimbledon? (b) [5 pts] Use one of DeMorgan's Laws to calculate the probability that a randomly selected fan watches neither the World Cup nor Wimbledon, (P(F^c cap W^c)). Problem 3. (10 pts) (Xsimtext{Uniform}({a,a+1ldots,b})) is a discrete uniform random variable with equal probabilities for all elements of the set ({a,a+1ldots,b}). The expectation ((E[X])) and variance ((sigma^2)) for this distribution are given by (frac{a+b}{2}) and (frac{n^2-1}{12}) respectively where (n=b-a+1) is the number of elements in the set. Also, recall that the absolute value function (|cdot|) returns the non-negative part of the enclosed number. For example, (|2|=2), (|0|=0), (|-2|=2). Therefore, the absolute value of the difference between two numbers can simply be seen as "the distance between them''. For example, both (2) and (8) are at a distance of (3) units from (5) (i.e., (|8-5|=|2-5|=3)) as shown below. Consider a random variable, (X sim text{Uniform}({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7})). (a) [5 pts] Find the probability that (X) falls within one standard deviation of its expected value, i.e. (P(|X-E[X]| 5), i.e., (P(X>5 midtext{ }|X-E[X]|gesigma)). Problem 4. (10 pts) Pseudo Noise (PN) sequences are a special type of binary sequences (with 0s and 1s) used in wireless communications. A "run'' is defined as a streak of identical consecutive bits (For example, '111' is a run of length 3). A well-known property of PN sequences is that: among all runs, exactly half of them have length 1, one fourth of the runs have length 2, one eighth of the runs have length 3, and so on. Suppose a run is selected at random from the sequence, and let (X) denote its length. (X) is given to follow a Geometric distribution with PMF,[P(X = k) = (1-p)^{k-1}p, quad k = 1, 2, 3, dots] (a) [5 pts] Compute (p) using the described property. (b) [5 pts] Find the probability (P(X ge 3)). Problem 5. (15 pts) A binary asymmetric channel takes as input (X in {0,1}) and produces output (Y in {0,1}) in which each transmitted bit is independently flipped or remains the same with some crossover probability, as shown below. The transition probabilities from the figure are listed for your convenience:begin{align*}P(Y = 0|X = 0) &= 0.6 quad & P(Y = 1|X = 0) &= 0.4 \P(Y = 0|X = 1) &= 0.2 quad & P(Y = 1|X = 1) &= 0.8end{align*} Assume the input (X sim mbox{Bernoulli}(0.5)). (a) [5 pts] Find the PMF of (Y). Is there a special name for the type of PMF? (b) [5 pts] Are the events (X = 0) and (Y = 1) independent? Are they mutually exclusive? Justify your answers. (c) [5 pts] Calculate (E[2X+3Y]). (Recall that (E[X]=q) for any (Xsim)Bernoulli((q))). Congratulations, you are almost done with Midterm Exam 1.
