An information source generates symbols at random from a four-letter alphabet {a,b,c,d} with probabilities P(a) = 1/2, P(b) = 1/4, P(c) = P(d) = 1/8. A coding scheme encodes these symbols into binary codes as follows: a b 10 110 d. 111 Let X be the random variable denoting the lenght of the code, that is the number of binary symbols. Assuming that the generations of symbols are independent, please find E(X²) =? O a. 11/16 O b. 2 Oc. 9/4 O d. 7/4 е. 15/4
