An analogue sensor signal is sampled every 0.4ms to convert it into a digital representation. what is the corresponding sampling rate?
according to the sampling theorem (section 3.3.1), for this sampling rate value, what will be the highest frequency in the digital representation, assuming the lowest frequency in the sensor signal is very close to zero.
if each sample is quantised into 2048 levels, what will be the resulting bit-rate, giving your answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places?

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
