Module 12: Probability and Statistics in Matlab
Instructions
- Starting with the code in ThreeOfaKind.m create a new mfile named Flush_LastName.m that computes the probability of a flush. A flush is 5 cards of the same suit. Compute the analytic probability. Look up the probability on
Wikipedia. Compare the three values. - Starting with the code in Histograms.m generate the following plot. Use 100,000 random normal numbers with a standard deviation of 5 and a mean of three. Plot red vertical lines for sigma=-3:3, and label the z scores as shown. Call this mfile DistributionHomework_LastName.m.
3. Compute the Bit Error Rate (BER) for a communications channel where a zero has a mean of -5, and a sigma of 3, and a one has a mean of 5 and a sigma of 3. The probability of a one is 50%. Compute the BER using a simulation of 100,000 ones, and 100,000 zeros. Plot the PDFs. Call you Matlab script BitErrorRateHomework_LastName.m. Compute the BER analytically using normcdf, erf, or erfc. Your plot should look like this:
