Alice is trying to transmit to bob the answer to a yes-no question, us-ing a noisy channel. she encodes "yes" as 1 and "no" as 0, and sends the appropriatevalue. however, the channel adds noise; specifically, bob receives what alice sends plusan(0,σ2) noise term (the noise is independent of what alice sends). if bob receives avalue greater than 1/2 he interprets it as "yes"; otherwise, he interprets it as "no".(a) find the probability that bob understands alice correctly. 2 (b) what happens to the result from (a) if σ is very small? what about if σ is very large? explain intuitively why the results in these extreme cases make sense.(b) what happens to the result from (a) if σ is very small? what about if σ is very large? explain intuitively why the results in these extreme cases make sense.

To find the extreme values of a function f(x. y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x, y)=xy

Suppose that a households monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hundreds of cubic feet, hcf). when graphed, the function gives a line with slope of 1.65. if the monthly cost for 13 hcf is $46.10 what is the monthly cost for 19 hcf?
