πŸ“ Sample Questions

Q1. What does the redundancy ratio represent in a coding scheme?

πŸ”Ή A. Number of redundant bits per data bit
πŸ”Ή B. Ratio of data bits to total bits
πŸ”Ή C. Number of error bits corrected
πŸ”Ή D. Transmission speed

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: easy | βœ… Correct: A

Q2. If a coding scheme doubles the number of redundant bits while keeping the data bits constant, which effect is most directly expected?

πŸ”Ή A. Error detection capability halves
πŸ”Ή B. Bandwidth efficiency doubles
πŸ”Ή C. Probability of undetected error decreases
πŸ”Ή D. Transmission delay reduces

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: medium | βœ… Correct: C

Q3. A coding scheme transmits 8 data bits with 4 redundant bits. Assuming each bit has an independent error probability of \(p = 0.001\), what is the approximate probability that a double‑bit error goes undetected if the code can detect all single‑bit errors but fails to detect exactly two‑bit errors?

πŸ”Ή A. Approximately \(1.2 \times 10^{-4}\)
πŸ”Ή B. Approximately \(6 \times 10^{-5}\)
πŸ”Ή C. Approximately \(1.5 \times 10^{-6}\)
πŸ”Ή D. Approximately \(2 \times 10^{-3}\)

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: hard | βœ… Correct: B
