the response of the same system to a unit impulse input is which of the following?
(a) a’(n)
(b) na(n)
2. Which one of the following relations is not correct? f(t) is any function and d(t) is unit
impulse function
(b) x (t-2)
(c) x (t + 12)
(d) x (t + 2)
5. The input x(n) and the unit impulse response h(n) of a discrete LTI system are given by
x(n) = {12,3, 4} and h(n) = {5,6, 7,8} . The value of the output y(n) for n=3 is________
6. The system described by the difference equation y(n) - 2y (n-1) + y(n- 2) = x(n) - x(n- 1)
has y(n) =0 for n < 0. If x(n) = (n), then y(2) will be ________
7. An LTI system with impulse response h[n] = anu(n) , |a|<1 with the input sequence x[n] = u[n].
Then the output y[n] at n = 2 is __________ (Assume a = 1/2)
∞
8. Consider the discrete-time signal x(n) =(1/3)n u(n) and y(n)=x(-n). Then∑=∞ () = ?
9. Let y(n)=g(n)*h(n) where h(n) =(1/2)nu(n) and g(n) is a causal sequence. If y[0] =1 and y[1] =
1/2, then g[1] = ?
10. Given: x(n) = {1, 1, -1} for n={-1,0,1} .y(n)=x(n)*x(n). The value of y(-1) ?
sin(500t) sin(700t)
11. Find the Nyquist sample rate of the signal s(t)= .
t t
12. You are interested in the useful life of a certain electronic component. Which of the
following represent the sample space for the useful life and the subset of the event that the
component fails before the end of the third year. (Note: represents "given that" and captures
the notion of conditional probability.)
f(x) =sin(x) for 0<=x<=A. Assume zero valued otherwise. Find the value of constant A.
15. Suppose f(x) =exp(-x) is the probability density function of a continuous random variable X.
0 0<=x< , then P(X=3) is ?
16. A financial strategy has pay-outs on a daily basis. It either makes one million rupees per day
or it loses one rupee. This strategy has a 1/1000 chance per day of making one million rupees,
and a 999/1000 chance per day of losing one rupee. We have collected pay-outs over the last
5000 days (which included some days where the strategy gave out one million rupees). Which
of the following is the best measure of centrality associated with pay-outs and why ?:
A. Mean
B. Median
C. Mode
D. Variance
17. If a distribution is skewed to the left and has a median of 40, what will its mean be?
A. greater than 40
B. less than 40
C. equal to 40
18. Given N different independent observations, prove that mean is the best estimate of the
N+1th observation under certain condition/assumption. Under what condition median or mode
can be used for the same? Prove that.
[OPTIONAL Questions]- You are encouraged to explore the following conceptual question
for deeper understanding
19. Think of an example where frequency domain representation of a signal is more useful than
time domain? Alternatively, is always frequency domain representation useful compared to
time domain?
21. What are the limitations of Fourier series? Why do we go for fourier transform, laplace
transform, Z transform ?
22. Fourier transform and inverse fourier transform with continuous and discrete signals have
integration and summation in their respective formulae. Are you able to explain them? Is it ok
to replace summation and integration ?
