TIFR ECE 2014 | Question: 14
Suppose that a random variable $X$ has a probability density function \[ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =c(x-4) \quad \text { for } 4 \leq x \leq 6 \\ & =0 \quad \text { for all other } x \end{aligned} \] for some constant $c$. What is the expected value of $X$ given that $X \geq 5?$ $5 \frac{5}{9}$ $5 \frac{1}{2}$ $5 \frac{3}{4}$ $5 \frac{1}{4}$ $5 \frac{5}{8}$

TIFR ECE 2014 | Question: 18
A non-negative loss in a car accident is distributed with the following probability density function \[ f(x)=\frac{1}{10} \exp (-x / 10) \] for $x \geq 0$. Suppose that first $5$ units of loss is incurred by the insured and the remaining loss if any is covered by the ... $5+10 \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ $15 \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

GATE ECE 2015 Set 1 | Question: 52
A source emits bit $0$ with probability $\frac{1}{3}$ and bit $1$ with probability $\frac{2}{3}$. The emitted bits are communicated to the receiver. The receiver decides for either $0$ or $1$ based on the received value $R$. It is given that the ... $0$ $1/12$ $1/9$ $1/6$
