The document provides an assignment for an online probability methods in engineering course. It includes instructions for submitting assignment solutions and two questions. The first question asks to show that a linear combination of independent Gaussian random variables is also Gaussian. The second question estimates the probability of more than 120 bit errors in a 1000 bit data packet using a binomial error model and the central limit theorem.

Question # 1 [C4, CLO2, PLO2] [10Marks]

Show that a linear combination of n independent Gaussian random variables isalso


a Gaussian random variable. In other words, if X 1 , X 2 , … , X nare
nindependentGaussian random variables with means μ1 , μ 2 , … , μnand variances
σ 12 , σ 22 , … .., σ 2n, then Sn=a 1 X 1 + a2 X 2+· · ·+ an X n , where a 1 , a2 , … .., a nare allnonrandom,
nonzero constants, is also a Gaussian random variable.

Hints: Use MGF of n independent and identically distributed (Gaussian distributed


random variables) for proof.

Question # 2 [C4, CLO2, PLO2] [10 Marks]

In a communication system each data packet consists of 1000 bits. Due to the


noise, each bit may be received in error. The errors are modeled using Binomial
random variable with probability of bit error equal to 0.1. It is assumed bit errors
occur independently. Estimate the probability using central limit theorem that there
are more than 120 errors in a certain data packet.
