MATLab 1. Using MatLab, write a program to calculate the range of x values for a Gaussian distribution assuming an arbitrary confidence (e.g. 85%) 2. Suppose that there are 3000 air molecules in an otherwise empty room. What is the probability that exactly 1000 of them are in the front third of the room at any instant? What is the probability that 1001 of them are in the front of the room? What is the probability that there are between 980 and 1020 molecules in the room? Use MatLab as an exercise to solve this.

Step 1
To calculate the range of x values for a Gaussian distribution with a given confidence level, we can use the "norminv" function in MATLAB. For example, to find the range of x values that contains 85% of the distribution, we can use the following code: confidence Show more…

1. Given the probability density function, f_x (x) = A exp [-Bx], x >= 0 = 0, x < 0 a. determine A in terms of B, reducing f_x (x) to a function of B and x only b. Derive the maximum likelihood estimator of B given N independent samples of x c. Test your result from part b, using B = 4 and 1000 random samples of f_x (x), generated using the random function in MATLAB

Write a MATLAB script to generate 100,000 random samples for the fading channel mentioned. Let z = x + jy be the complex envelope of a Rician fading channel, where x and y are Gaussian distributed random variables. Assume Rician K factor = 4, σ^2 = 1/2, and μx^2 = μy^2. Simulate and plot the envelope (amplitude) probability density function (PDF) and compare it with the respective theoretical PDF. Comment on the plot obtained.
1. a. Let the mutually independent random variables X1, X2, X3 each have the probability density function f(x) = 3x 2 if 0 < x < 1, and zero otherwise. Find the probability that exactly two of these random variables exceed 1 2 . b. If four students enter a classroom that has 10 vacant seats, in how many ways can they be seated? c. Suppose you just received a shipment of 10 DVD players. One of the DVD players is defective. You accept the shipment if three randomly selected DVD players work. What is the probability that you accept the shipment?
