Answer:
3 1/3 or 3.3(repeated)
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 ÷ 1/5
= 2/3 × 5
= 10/3
= 3 1/3 or 3.3(repeated)
I hope this helped!
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected length of code for one encoded symbol is

where
is the probability of picking the letter
, and
is the length of code needed to encode
.
is given to us, and we have

so that we expect a contribution of

bits to the code per encoded letter. For a string of length
, we would then expect
.
By definition of variance, we have
![\mathrm{Var}[L]=E\left[(L-E[L])^2\right]=E[L^2]-E[L]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BL%5D%3DE%5Cleft%5B%28L-E%5BL%5D%29%5E2%5Cright%5D%3DE%5BL%5E2%5D-E%5BL%5D%5E2)
For a string consisting of one letter, we have

so that the variance for the length such a string is

"squared" bits per encoded letter. For a string of length
, we would get
.
the sign would probably be a negative. imagine this - - - - - - and then + + +, cancel out the negatives and plus then you are left with more negatives than positive so the sign will take the negative sign.
