I think it was incorrect usage. It doesn't apply here since these are pmfs and not pdfs. I got it from a differential entropy wiki page. Anyways, I don't disagree that if Y is a scale of X that the uncertainty in the RV will be the same. The probabilities are the same regardless of the...

Homework Statement Let ##X## and ##Y## be two independent integer-valued random variables. Let ##X## be uniformly distributed over ##\left\{1,2,...,8\right\}##, and let ##\text{Pr}\left\{Y=k\right\} =2^{-k},~k=1,2,3,...## (a) Find ##H(X)##. (b) Find ##H(Y)##. (c) Find ##H(X+Y,X-Y)##. Homework...

Because it's pi*r^2 radius = r = the function your given.

The COMPASS Test for mathematics at my college was rather easy, in my opinion. It will cut you off if you start getting questions wrong...and actually does a really nice job of placing you in the correct math class. In terms of what is on it, you start off with easy arithmetic and if you...
