Topic: Analyzing Signal Characteristics Using Normal Distribution in Electrical Engineering

Scenario:
Imagine you are an electrical engineer working on a project involving voltage measurements in a
circuit.
Formulate a research question related to voltage measurements that can be addressed using
probability distributions. Consider the practical implications for circuit analysis and design.

Data Collection and Probability Density Function (PDF) Estimation:


1. Data Collection:
• Hypothetically collect a sample of voltage measurements from a circuit.
• Specify the size of your sample, ensuring it is suitable for statistical analysis.
2. Estimate PDF in MATLAB:
• Utilize MATLAB to estimate the probability density function (PDF) of the voltage
measurements.
• Include the MATLAB code in your submission for evaluation.
Assessment of Distribution Characteristics:
• Do the statistical analysis of the PDF (mean, variance, etc) of the voltage
distribution using MATLAB.
• Discuss the implications of these moments on the characteristics of the signal.

Conclusion:
Summarize your findings and reflect on how a deep understanding of probability distributions can
enhance electrical engineering practices. Discuss potential applications and benefits in the design
and analysis of electronic circuits.

MATLAB Code Submission Guidelines:


1. Provide MATLAB code for PDF estimation, moments calculation.

Submission Format:
Compose a structured report that includes your research question, data collection process,
MATLAB code, statistical analysis of distribution characteristics. Submit both the written report
and the MATLAB code for evaluation.
