Question 1 (5 marks)
Suppose we decide to quantize an 16-bit grayscale image down to just 4 bits of accuracy.
What is the simplest way to do so? What range of byte values are mapped to what
quantized values?
Question 2 (5 marks)
What is the advantage of interlaced video? What are some of its problems?
Question 3 (5 marks)
PAL video has 625 lines per frame. How many lines are used per field of vertical retrace
and what is the delay for horizontal retrace.
Question 4 (5 marks)
Describe some salient features of DVB-T.
Question 5 (5 marks)
A fair coin is tossed 3 times. Find the probability of two head and the probability of
both head and tail.
Question 6 (5 marks)
Four computer companies A, B, C, D supply microprocessors to a company. From
previous experience it is known that the probability of the processor being bad if it
comes from A is 4%, B is 2%, C is 5%, and D is 1%. The probabilities of picking
supplier A is 20%, B is 30%, C is 10%, and D are 40%. What is the probability that a
processor chosen at random is bad.
Question 7 (5 marks)
Continued from Q4, find the probability that the processor came from companies A, B,
C, or D given that the processor is bad.
Question 8 (5 marks)
A fair dice is rolled 10 times, what is the probability that 1 showed up exactly 4 times?
Question 9 (5 marks)
2
For a random variable, X uniformly distributed between (−a, a). Find µX and σX .
Question 10 (5 marks)
Two coins are tossed. Let A denote the event “t most one head on the two tosses”, and
let B denote the event “one head and one tail in both tosses”. Are A and B independent
events?
Question 11 (5 marks)
Let the random variable X denote the sum obtained in rolling a pair of fair dice.
Determine the pmf of X.
Question 12 (5 marks)
Find the pmf of a discrete random variable X whose CDF is given by
0 x<0
1/6 0≤x<2
FX (x) = 1/2 2≤x<4
5/8 4≤x<6
1 x≥6
Question 13 (5 marks)
Assume that X is continuous random variable with following pdf
(
A(2x − x2 ) 0 < x < 2
fX (x) =
0 otherwise
