Question
How many 14-bit strings (that is, bit strings of length 14) are there with: (a) start with sub-string 011? (b) have weight 7 (i.e., contain exactly 7 1’s) and start with the sub-string 011? (c) either start with 011 or end with 01 (or both)? (d) have weight 7 and either start with 011 or end with 01 (or both)?
Expert Solution

Step 1

Here are the answers to each part:

(a) There are 2^(14-3) = 2^11 = 2048 14-bit strings that start with the sub-string 011.

(b) To have weight 7, there must be 7 bits set to 1. There are 7 bits left over after starting with the sub-string 011, so there are 7 choose 7 = 1 ways to place the remaining 1's. So, there is 1 14-bit string with weight 7 that starts with the sub-string 011.
