Hannah Figueroa · Answer 1

a. about 50% for either even or odd parity

Beanie · Answer 2

a. about 50% for either even or odd parity

Step-by-step explanation:

Parity comes in two flavors, even and odd.

Even parity is the exclusive-or of all the data bits while odd parity is its inverse.

The set of even integers is called parity 0.

The set of odd integers is called parity 1.

This implies that the probability for detecting an error is 50% because the even and odd parity both have a chance of 50%.
