Math Problem Statement

A fair coin is tossed. If a head comes, X1(t) = sin(10πt), and if a tail comes, X2(t) = 2t.

Solution

The text in the image describes a scenario involving a coin toss and mathematical functions:

  1. A fair coin is tossed:
    • If a head comes up, the function is X1(t)=sin(10πt)X_1(t) = \sin(10\pi t).
    • If a tail comes up, the function is X2(t)=2tX_2(t) = 2t.

This setup likely involves a random process where the coin toss determines which function X(t)X(t) will describe the outcome.

Would you like me to explain this scenario further or solve a specific problem related to it?

Here are 5 questions to consider expanding on:

  1. What is the probability distribution of the outcomes given the coin is fair?
  2. How do X1(t)X_1(t) and X2(t)X_2(t) behave over time, and how can they be compared?
  3. Can we calculate the expected value of X(t)X(t) at a particular time tt?
  4. How does the choice of tt affect the outputs of X1(t)X_1(t) and X2(t)X_2(t)?
  5. Can we model this as a stochastic process? If so, how?

Tip: When solving problems involving random processes, always consider the probabilities of events and their corresponding outcomes.
