Ask Custom Question

Sample functions from a deterministic random process are described by

X(t)= At + B t>=0
= 0 t<0

where A is a Gaussian random variable with zero mean and a variance of 9 and B is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between 0 and 6. A and B are statistically independent.

A) Find the mean value of this process.

B) Find the variance of this process.

C) If a particular sample function is found to have a value of 10 at t=2 and a value of 20 at t=4, find the value of the sample function at t=8.
