Assume that the probability of error-free transmission of a message over a communication channel is p. If a message is not transmitted correctly, a retransmission is initiated. This procedure is repeated until a correct transmission occurs. Such a channel is often called a feedback channel. Assuming that successive transmissions are independent, what is the probability that: a) No retransmission is required. b) Exactly two retransmissions are required

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Assume that the probability of error-free transmission of a message over a communication channel is p=0.9. If a message is not transmitted correctly, a retransmission is initiated. This procedure is repeated until a correct transmission occurs. Such a channel is often called a feedback channel. Assuming that successive transmissions are independent, what is the probability that:

a) No retransmission is required.

b) Exactly two retransmissions are required

a) probability that No retransmission is required is  0.90

b) the probability that exactly two retransmissions are required is 0.009

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the probability of error-free transmission of a message over a communication channel is p = 0.9

a) probability that No retransmission is required will be;

Let x represent the error-free transmission of a message

Now, the P( error-free_transmission_of_a_message) = 0.90

so;

P( X=0 ) = 0.90( 1 - 0.90 )⁰

P( X=0 ) = 0.90( 0.1 )⁰

P( X=0 ) = 0.90( 1 )

P( X=0 ) = 0.90

Therefore, probability that No retransmission is required is  0.90

b) Probability that exactly two retransmissions are required will be;

P( X=2 ) = 0.90( 1 - 0.90 )²

P( X=2 ) = 0.90( 0.1 )²

P( X=2 ) = 0.90( 0.01)

P( X=2 ) = 0.009

Therefore, the probability that exactly two retransmissions are required is 0.009

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
