1. A simple random sample of n = 25 adult residents of Santa Cruz County was surveyed. The mean height of the adults in the sample was 163 centimeters, with a standard deviation of 5.5 centimeters. Find a 90%-confidence interval for the mean height of all adult residents of the county. What assumption(s) do you need to make, if any, about the distribution of adult heights in the county? 2. The Whoville MicroMarble Company (WMMC) produces industrial grade micro marbles, and sells them in small plastic urns that are advertised as containing 50 grams of micro-marbles. The WMMC urns are filled by a technologically advanced Automatic Urn Filler (AUF), but there have been many complaints from customers of under-filled urns, (as well as concerns from the company's board of overfilled urns). (a) An intrepid marble industry investigator studying the issue, breaks into the WMMC warehouse late one night, and weighs the contents of a simple random sample of 36 filled WMMC urns. She finds that the mean weight of marbles in the sample urns is $\bar{x}$ = 51.2 gms, with a standard deviation of $s_x$ = 1.02 gms. Use these statistics to find a 90%-confidence interval for the mean weight of micro marbles in all of the tens of thousands of filled urns in the WMMC warehouse. Show your work. (b) As the complaints (and concerns) mount, the WMMC board hires a quality control engineer to maintain the calibration of the AUF. At the end of each day's production run, the engineer takes a random sample of 10 of the thousands of urns filled that day, and tests the hypothesis pair $H_0: \mu = 50$ gms, $H_A: \mu \neq 50$ gms, where $\mu$ is the mean weight of micro marbles in all the urns filled that day. According to company policy, the engineer uses a 1% significance level for these tests, and if the null hypothesis is rejected, production is halted and the AUF is recalibrated. One day, the engineer's sample statistics are $\bar{x}$ = 49.4 gms, and $s_x$ = 1.21 gms. Should the AUF be recalibrated? Show your work and explain your answer. What assumptions (if any) are necessary to justify your calculations?

Q1) Consider a message signal $m(t)$ with the spectrum shown in Figure P2.8. The message bandwidth $W = 2$ kHz. This signal is applied to a product modulator, together with a carrier wave $A_c \cos(2\pi f_c t)$, producing the DSB-SC modulated signal $s(t)$. The modulated signal is next applied to a coherent detector. Assuming perfect synchronism between the carrier waves in the modulator and detector, determine the spectrum of the detector output when: (a) the carrier frequency $f_c = 12.5$ kHz and (b) the carrier frequency $f_c = 7.5$ kHz. What is the lowest carrier frequency for which each component of the modulated signal $s(t)$ is uniquely determined by $m(t)$? Q2) The AM signal $s(t) = A_c[1 + m_m(t)] \cos(2\pi f_c t)$ is applied to the system shown in Figure P2.7. Assuming that $|k_m m(t)| < 1$ for all $t$ and the message signal $m(t)$ is limited to the interval $-W \le f \le W$ and that the carrier frequency $f_c > 2W$ show that $m(t)$ can be obtained from the square-rooter output $v_o(t)$. Q3) Figure P2.2 shows the circuit diagram of a square-law modulator. The signal applied to the nonlinear device is relatively weak, such that it can be represented by a square law: $v_o(t) = a_1 v_i(t) + a_2 v_i^2(t)$ where $a_1$ and $a_2$ are constants, $v_i(t)$ is the input voltage, and $v_o(t)$ is the output voltage. The input voltage is defined by $v_i(t) = A_c \cos(2\pi f_c t) + m(t)$ where $m(t)$ is a message signal and $A_c \cos(2\pi f_c t)$ is the carrier wave. (a) Evaluate the output voltage $v_o(t)$. (b) Specify the frequency response that the tuned circuit in Figure P2.2 must satisfy in order to generate an AM signal with $f_c$ as the carrier frequency. (c) What is the amplitude sensitivity of this AM signal?
