Answer:

the probability that a code word contains exactly one zero is 0.0064 (0.64%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each bit is independent from the others , then the random variable X= number of 0 s in the code word follows a binomial distribution, where

p(X)= n!/((n-x)!*x!*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= number of independent bits=5

x= number of 0 s

p= probability that a bit is 0 = 0.8

then for x=1

p(1) = n*p*(1-p)^(n-1) = 5*0.8*0.2^4 = 0.0064 (0.64%)

therefore the probability that a code word contains exactly one zero is  0.0064 (0.64%)
