Bit transmission errors between computers sometimes occur, where one computer sends a 0 but the other computer receives a 1 (or vice versa). Because of this, the computer sending a message repeats each bit three times, so a 0 is sent as 000 and a 1 as 111. The receiving computer "decodes" each triplet by majority rule: whichever number, 0 or 1, appears more often in a triplet is declared to be the intended bit. For example, both 000 and 100 are decoded as 0, while 101 and 011 are decoded as 1. Suppose that 6% of bits are switched (0 to 1, or 1 to 0) during transmission between two particular computers, and that these errors occur independently during transmission. Required:
a. Find the probability that a triplet is decoded incorrectly by the receiving computer.
b. Using your answer to part (a), explain how using triplets reduces communication errors.
c. How does your answer to part (a) change if each bit is repeated five times (instead of three)?
d. Imagine a 25 kilobit message (i. e., one requiring 25,000 bits to send). What is the expected number of errors if there is no bit repetition implemented? If each bit is repeated three times?

it's

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:
