  1. Question 1

    Q1. A channel has a bit error rate of 10^-6. If a packet has 1000 bits, what is the probability that the packet is received without error?

    • A) (1 - 10^-6)^1000
    • B) 1 - (1 - 10^-6)^1000
    • C) 10^-6
    • D) 1 - 10^-6

    Answer: (1 - 10^-6)^1000

    Explanation: The probability that a bit is received correctly is (1 - 10^-6). For 1000 bits, it is (1 - 10^-6)^1000.
