Step 1
Given data:
The probability of 0 bit is P(0)=0.6.
The expression for the probability of 1 bit is,
Substitute the given values in the above expression.
(a)
The expression for the probability of code-word 0101 is,
Substitute the given and above-calculated values in the expression.
Thus, the probability of code-word 0101 is 0.0576.
