See Exercise 53 for some background. When information is transmitted, there may be some errors in the communication. We present a method of adding extra information to messages so that most errors that occur during transmission can be detected and corrected. Such methods are referred to as error-correcting codes. (Compare these with codes whose purpose is to conceal information.) The pictures of man’s first landing on the Moon (in 1969) were televised just as they had been received and were not very clear, since they contained many errors induced during transmission. On later missions, much clearer error-corrected pictures were obtained.
In computers, information is stored and processed in the form of strings of binary digits, 0 and 1. This stream of binary digits is often broken up into “blocks” of eight binary digits (bytes). For the sake of simplicity, we will work with blocks of only four binary digits (i.e., with

The way to distinguish the difference between the explanatory and response variables is by asking, “Whichstatement makes sense?” Does A cause B? B should be in response to the explanatory A. For example, A researcher wants toexamine whether babies fed on breast milk are more or less likely to be ill.Statement 1: Feeding a baby on breast milk causes resistance to disease.Statement 2: Resistance to disease causes a baby to feed on breast milk.Identify which variable is the explanatory (A) and which is the response: presence or absence of breast milk; resistance to disease Exercise 2. In each part below, identify the explanatory and response variables.(a) An experiment was conducted to test the effects of sleep deprivation on human response times.(b) Researcher Penny Gordon Larson and her associate wanted to determine whether young couples who marry or cohabitateare more likely to gain weight than those who stay single.arrow_forward
