Answer:
865
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that in 95% confidence level the value of z has a value of 1.96. This can be confirmed in the attached image of the normal distribution.
Now we have the following formula:
n = [z / E] ^ 2 * (p * q)
where n is the sample size, which is what we want to calculate, "E" is the error that is 2% or 0.02. "p" is the probability they give us, 5 out of 50, is the same as 1 out of 10, that is 0.1. "q" is the complement of p, that is, 1 - 0.1 = 0.9, that is, the value of q is 0.9.
Replacing these values we are left with:
n = [1.96 / 0.02] ^ 2 * [(0.1) * (0.9)]
n = 864.36
865 by rounding to the largest number.
Morse code is essentially the same as binary. That is, there are two "digits", a dot or a dash.
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Clearly, we can't just use one dot or dash, since that could only encode 2 letters at the most. We can't use two symbols because that could only encode 4 letters at the most. Similarly, 3 symbols means
letters at most.
We have to select the smallest power of 2 that exceeds or is equal to 26. In this case,
, so we would have to use up to 5 symbols to encode each letter in the alphabet.
