In a digital communication channel, assume that the number of bits received in erro can be modelled by a binomial random variable and assume that the probability that a bit is received in error is 1x10-5. If 16 million bits are transmitted, (a) find the probability that 150 or fewer errors occur. (b) approximate the probability that 150 or fewer error occur. (Hints: Use Norma approximation to Binomial)
