Question

Data is transmitted in  512 bytes. What is the average number of errors expected if the system BER is 2:10,000?

(a) 1

(b) 0

(c) 0.542

(d) 0.819

This question was addressed to me in a job interview.

I want to ask this question from Digital Transmission of Data topic in section Digital Communication Techniques of Avionics

Answer 1

Right option is (d) 0.819

The best I can explain: Total number of bits = 512 x 8 = 4096 bits

           Average number of errors = (2/10,000) x 4096 = 0.819.
