Alice selects one of the numbers +2 and -1 with equal probability and would like to tell you her choice. However, you don't get to see the number itself, but a noisy version that adds to Alice's number a Gaussian random variable with mean 0 and variance o2. Based on this noisy observation, you would like to guess the number Alice originally sent you.(a) Let's say that if your observation is nonpositive, you conclude that the number sent was -1, and if it is positive, that it was +2. Also assume that o = 1. What is the probability of you making an error? (b) Generalizing (a), let's say you decipher Alice's message to be -1 if the observation is below some threshold a (in part (a), we chose a = 0.) What value of a should you use to minimize your probability of error? Assume once again that o2 is unknown.

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
