    Probability in Electrical Engineering

           A signal is a physical quantity that varyies with time. The physical quantity is converted into the electrical form by means of some transducers . For example, the time-varying electrical voltage that is generated when one speaks through a telephone is a signal. More generally, a signal is a stream of information representing anything from stock prices to the weather data from a remote-sensing satellite.
