5) Consider a binary code with 5 bits (0 or 1) in each code word. In this case, an example of the code word is 01010. In each codeword, one bit (independent of all other bits) is 0 with probability 0.8. a) What is the probability of a code word consisting of 00111? b) What is the probability that a code word contains exactly three 1s?

7. Suppose that a communications network transmits binary digits, 0 or 1, where each digit is transmitted 10 times in succession. During each transmission, the probability is 0.995 that the digit entered will be transmitted accurately. In other words, the probability is 0.005 that the digit being transmitted will be recorded with the opposite value at the end of the transmission. For each transmission after the first one, the digit entered for transmission is the one that was recorded at the end of the preceding transmission. If X₁ denotes the binary digit entering the system, X₁ the binary digit recorded after the first transmission, X₂ the binary digit recorded after the second transmission, then {X₂} is a Markov chain. (a) Construct the (one-step) transition matrix. (b) Find the 10-step transition matrix P(10). Use this result to identify the probability that a digit entering the network will be recorded accurately after the last transmission.

Consider a binary code with 6 bits (0 or 1) in each code word. An example of a code word is 010010. How many different code words are there? b. How many code words have exactly three O's? In each code word a bit is a 0 with probability 0.8, independent of any other bit, what is the а. С. probability of observing the code 001111. d. What is the probability that the code word will contain exactly three zeros (Hint: The way that you would read this statement is the P[observing exactly three zeros] = P[000111] + P[100011] + as you can see there are so many ways you could observe 3 zeros in a code, use the %3D etc combinatorics principle to help you find the probability in this question )
