Moving forward, the specific steps to solve the provided problem involving the random
processes X(1) and Y(1) defined by the given equations will involve the computation of the
cross-correlation function Rxy(, 1+ t), showcasing the joint wide-sense stationarity of X(1) and
Y(1), and solving the equation (6.4-2) to demonstrate the system's response. Additionally, a
sketch of (T)| versus T will be created to illustrate its behavior, and the determination of the
required T to make [e(T)] less than 1% of the largest value the correct cross-correlation function
can have will be calculated.
It is important to handle each step with precision, accuracy, and thorough mathematical
understanding to arrive at the correct solutions for the given problem.
To compute the conditional probability P(the third is a tail| the second is a tail) for flipping a fair
coin three times, we can use the formula for conditional probability:
Where:
P(A|B) is the conditional probability of A given B
P(A and B) is the probability of both A and B occurring
P(B) is the probability of event B occurring
Step 1: Calculate the probability of the second and third coin flips being tails
P(the second is a tail and the third is a tail) = P(TT)
Since each coin flip is independent and the coin is fair, the probability of getting a tail on each
flip is 1/2. Therefore,
P(TT) = P(T) * P(T) = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
Step 2: Calculate the probability of the second coin flip being a tail
P(the second is a tail) = P(T)
Since each coin flip is independent and the coin is fair, the probability of getting a tail on any flip
is 1/2. Therefore,
P(T) = 1/2
Step 3: Use the formula for conditional probability to find P(the third is a tail| the second is a tail)
P(the third is a tail| the second is a tail) = P(TT) / P(T)
