Explain how the sum and product rules can be used to find the number of bit strings with a length not exceeding
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Total number of string length
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Length of string should be less than
Concept used:
Number of bit string of length
Calculation:
Here, length of string
Number of bit string of length
Product rule.
Suppose each place is to be occupied either by zero or by
Then
So, total number of strings
So, bit string of length
Bit string of length
Bit string of length
Bit string of length
So, total number of strings length
Conclusion:
Total number of string length
