The random variable X can be used to describe the voltage at the receiver in a modem. If symbol 0 is transmitted, X follows a Gaussian distribution centered at −5V with a standard deviation of 2V , or X ∼ n(x; −5, 2). If symbol 1 is transmitted, X follows a Gaussian distribution centered at +5V with a standard deviation of 2V , or X ∼ n(x; 5, 2). Assume that symbols 0 and 1 are equally likely to be sent.

(a)in matlab Plot the PDF of X. (hint: f(x) vs. x in volts, you need to use the law of total probability).

(b)in matlab Plot the CDF of X.

To test that hypothesis, the times it takes each machine to pack 10 cartons are recorded. It is given that the mean time for the new machine is 42.14 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.683 seconds. The mean time for the old machine is 43.23 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.750 seconds.

Sleep: Assume the general population gets an average of 7 hours of sleep per night. You randomly select 45 college students and survey them on their sleep habits. From this sample, the mean number of hours of sleep is found to be 6.89 hours with a standard deviation of 0.25 hours. You claim that college students get less sleep than the general population. That is, you claim the mean number of hours of sleep for all college students is less than 7 hours. Test this claim at the 0.01 significance level.

-This is a two-tailed test.

-This is a left-tailed test.    

-This is a right-tailed test.
