A block of 100 bits is transmitted over a binary communication channel with a probability of
bit error p = 0.01. If the block has 2 or more errors, then the block is retransmitted. Find the
probability that the number of retransmissions is M.

Final answer:
To find the probability that the number of retransmissions is M, we need to calculate the
probability of having 2 or more errors in the block. The probability of having 0 or 1 error in
the block is 0.735, so the probability of having 2 or more errors is 0.265.

Explanation: Ask your question

To find the probability that the number of retransmissions is M, we need to consider the
probability of having 2 or more errors in the block. Let's first calculate the probability of
having 0 or 1 error in the block:
P(0 or 1 error) = P(0 errors) + P(1 error)
P(0 errors) = (1 - p)^(100) = (1 - 0.01)^(100) = 0.366
P(1 error) = 100 * p * (1 - p)^(99) = 100 * 0.01 * (1 - 0.01)^(99) = 0.369
So, P(0 or 1 error) = 0.366 + 0.369 = 0.735
Now, the probability of having 2 or more errors is:
P(2 or more errors) = 1 - P(0 or 1 error) = 1 - 0.735 = 0.265
Therefore, the probability that the number of retransmissions is M is 0.265.
