    Probability Signal
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the probability that a receiver cannot distinguish between two signals received at arbitrary time intervals. The key formula used is P = n/m, where n represents the indistinguishable interval (0.1T) and m represents the total interval (T). The resulting probability is calculated as P = 0.1, suggesting that there is a 10% chance the signals are indistinguishable. Participants express uncertainty about the simplicity of the solution and whether it adequately addresses the problem. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in understanding the probability calculation in the context of signal reception.

Homework Statement


In moments of arbitrary time interval T, receiver catches the two signals, by
one in each moment. Signals can not distinguish if the differences in time
between the signal reception is less than t = 0.1T. Determine the probability that the receiver
does not distinguish signals.

Homework Equations



P=\frac{n}{m}

The Attempt at a Solution



n = 0.1T - interval in which recevier can't distinguish to signals

m = T - total possible intervals, in which receiver can catch signals is TP = \frac{0.1T}{T} =0.1

But, it seems too simple to me ! Is that solution OK, or ... ?

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
