Each bottle costs seven dollars. Two of them would cost $14 and three would cost $21. Buying three bottles, the amount is $21 which exceeds $16. Therefore, a $5 discount will be given. Subtracting $5 from the $21 will give $16. You have just enough amount to buy THREE bottles of olive oil.

A communications channel transmits the digits 0 and 1. However, due to static, the digit transmitted is incorrectly received wit

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1.

We have 5 bits, message will be corrupt if at least 3 bits are incorrect for the same block.

The digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability p = 0.2

The probability of receiving a digit correctly is q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

We want the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded.

This can be written as:

$P(X\geq3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\P(X\geq3) =\frac{5!}{3!2!}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{2}+\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.2)^4(0.8)^{1}+\frac{5!}{5!}(0.2)^5(0.8)^0\\P(X\geq3) =0.05792$

Hence, the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792
