    "Understanding Random Process X(t) and Its Sample Realizations

    @Ray I was very wrong. If I sketch a sample realization for x(t)=C with C been uniform over [-5,5] I will have for example a realization with a horizontal line in x1(t)=-5 (the y-axis) another realization can be x2(t)=2.5 with a horizontal line in 2.5 from t>=0. Am I right?

    Probability of Random Walk and Reaching a Destination with Equal Probabilities

    That makes sense and it fix find but I am at zero can I go to position -1? I want to understand/interpret correctly the problem.

    Probability of Random Walk and Reaching a Destination with Equal Probabilities

    @RAY I understood the first part (a) but I have breaking my head with the second part. I have been thinking in how to do this but everutime that I think that after 6 steps forward or reach position 6+ I can not get forward I stop.

    "Understanding Random Process X(t) and Its Sample Realizations

    Because I understood that C is a random variable with uniform distribution over [-5,5]. The PDF is 1/(5-(-5)). That is 1/10 and not 1/5.

    "Understanding Random Process X(t) and Its Sample Realizations

    Problem statement: Define the random process X(t) = C where C is uniform over [-5,5]. a) Sketch a few sample realizations I need reassurance that if I do a a few sample realizations of this random process they are all going to look the same. They are going to be an horizontal line with...

    LaPlacian joint probability density function.

    That is the part where I got stuck. What is the best way to solve this problem? should I use Jacobian or should I use the distribution properties? But my biggest question and where I need help is with the boundaries.

    Joint Probability density function

    I want to change the title and didn't find a way to do it. i want to use a more appropriate title.

    Probability of Random Walk and Reaching a Destination with Equal Probabilities

    So I don't have the correct combination. Its not 10C2 its 10C6. That is what I obtain using N=#steps X=#steps forward y=(N+X)/2 --> 10Cy I use the Y in the combinatorial.

    Joint Probability density function

    A joint pdf is given as pxy(x,y)=(1/4)^2 exp[-1/2 (|x| + |y|)] for x and y between minus and plus infinity. Find the joint pdf W=XY and Z=Y/X. f(w,z)=∫∫f(x,y)=∫∫(1/4)^2*e^(-(|x|+|y|)/2)dxdy -∞<x,y<∞ Someone told me I can not use Jacobian because of the absolute value. Is that true? So...

    Probability of Random Walk and Reaching a Destination with Equal Probabilities

    I used combinations and yes that's what I tried and how I saw it at the beginning. The probability of try 10 times and only success two times but then I had my doubts. I am not sure if I am approaching the problem in the correct form because he can move two steps backyards and then he is going...

    Is a Binomial Distribution the Correct Approach for a Random Walk Problem?

    Random walk or binomial?? Statement: A drunk person wonders aimlessly along a path by going forward 1 step and backward 1 step with equal probabilities of ½. After 10 steps, a) what is the probability that he has moved 2 steps forward? b) What is the probability that he will make it to his...

    Sideband Power for a multiple tone wave

    Homework Statement I need to find the sideband power in a AM DSB. My book doesn't have an example or explain what to do when you have a modulating signal that has two tones (two cosines). Homework Equations Ps=sideband power= 0.5*(mean square value)^2 Carrier signal = A*cos(Wc*t)...
