I had a question in Problem 2.
ReplyDeleteIn part (a), what do you mean by a "particular c-letter word"?
Is it a designated word that starts with c?
Or is it any word that starts with c??
If it's one word that starts with c, for example, like 'cat',
don't we have to know the length of the word to get the probability??
To Jiyoung: c stands for a number -- by "c-letter word", we mean a particular word with c letters, e.g.: for c = 3, find the probability the monkey types "bat".
ReplyDeleteOne clarification regarding Problem 4: The sentence "We add a new central node B to the network, and connect it to every other node on the ring with probability p ..." seems to have caused some confusion. What we mean is that node B is connected to each of the n nodes on the ring with probability p.
