Questions and Answers

What is the probability of a single channel being opened under steady-state conditions?

  • Po (correct)
  • No
  • N
  • Nc

    • What must be the sum of the probabilities of a channel being open and closed?

  • Pc
  • N
  • 1 (correct)
  • No

    • Which distribution describes the probability of exactly No channels being opened for N channels?

  • $BN(N_o) = Pc^o (1 - Pc)^{N-N_o}$
  • $BN(N_o) = Po^o (1 - Po)^{N-N_o}$ (correct)
  • $BN(N_o) = Po + Pc$
  • $BN(N_o) = N!N$
