Question

An 8-bit byte is transmitted using single-bit odd parity. The seven data bits are the least significant bits and the parity bit is the most significant bit. What is the correct transmission byte for the seven-bit data of 0111110?

Answer 1

0111110
number of 1's in this number is 5
we want odd-parity, which means number of 1's in the byte must be odd.
so, parity bit is 0. since it already has odd number of 1's

byte is 00111110
Answer: 00111110
