Assignment 5

  1. We know that ?(ab) = ?(a)?(b) whenever gcd(a, b) = 1. Give
    an example that shows that this identity is, in general, not true when
    gcd(a, b) 6= 1.
  2. Use the stream cipher discused in class (Section 2.6), with n = 7
    and c0 = c1 = 1, c2 = c3 = 0, c4 = c5 = c6 = 1. Encrypt w =
  3. 1110001 1010001 using the key k = 1010011.
  4. Find the sample space and probability distribution that model flipping
    two coins. Describe the event “at least one coin comes up heads”
    formally and compute its probability.
  5. We throw two dice. Determine the probability that they both show
    different numbers under the condition that the sum of both numbers is
    even.
  6. (a) Determine the integer n such that the probability for two of n
    people having the same birthday is at least 9/10.
    (b) Suppose the 4-digit PINs are randomly distributed. How many people
    must be in a room such that the probability that two of them have
    the same PIN is at least 1/2? (Here “4 digits” means that the PIN
    cannot start with a 0.)
    Note: Pay special attention to the direction of the inequality in the
    formula(s) used for this question.
