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

- A scientist is interested in whether stretching before running 5 kilometers will improve a runner’s time. The scientist decides that an experimental study is the best method to use to answer the question. One group of runners will run a 5-kilometer race without stretching, and a second group of runners will follow a specific stretching routine before running the race. The finishing times will be recorded, along with the group type for each runner. The scientist is able to get 200 adults of varying running abilities to participate in the study. Describe a way that would assign people into the two groups that would allow the scientist to answer the question of interest. *THIS IS NOT GRADED**arrow_forwardO mathxl.com Customize Links Apple Google LAUSD Parent.ardian Login Microsoft Office Home PortalGuard - Portal Login Math Homewor.r.

- Answer number 2. Make sure to show work!!!arrow_forwardThe data file includes the text of three books of the Bible (Joshua, Jonah and Philippians) using the ESV translation. While these are all great books, our only interest for this project is how often each letter is used. Identify those letters whose Cls do not overlap with any the CIs of any of the other letters. (For example the CI [0.042, 0.052] overlaps with [0.050, 0.060] because the upper bound of the first CI is greater than the lower bound of the second CI.) List the letters with the non-overlapping Cis and specify how many such letters there are.arrow_forwardPlease answer part aarrow_forward

Problem: To study the effectiveness of possible treatments for insomnia, a sleep researcher conducted a study in which four participants were instructed to count sheep (the Sheep Condition), four were told to concentrate on their breathing (the Breathing Condition), and four were not given any special instructions. The average number of minutes taken for each participant to fall asleep over the next seven days were 14, 28, 27, and 31 minutes for the Sheep condition; 25, 22, 17, and 14 minutes for those in the Breathing condition; and 45, 33, 30, and 41 for the Control condition.
