Morse code uses "dots" and "dashes," which are known to occur in the proportion of 3:4. This means that for any given symbol, P(dot sent) = 3/7 and P(dash sent) = 4/7. Unfortunately, when coded messages are sent, there are sometimes errors in transmission. Suppose there is interference on the transmission line, and with probability 1/8 a dot is mistakenly received as a dash, and vice versa. a) What is the probability that the received symbol is a dot?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(dot sent) =

and P(dash sent) =

P(dot received) = P(dot received ∩ dot sent)

+ P(dot received ∩ dash sent)

= P(dot received | dot sent)P(dot sent)  + P(dash received | dash sent)P(dash sent)   [By conditional probability formula]

Hence, the probability that the received symbol is a dot =

answer: its c because when it has a magnet next to it it will move away from the mixture. hope this

step-by-step explanation:

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
