Suppose bit errors in a digital data file occur independentlywith probability p = 0.25 · 10^−6 per bit.

X = number of bit errors in a 1 Mbyte data file (= 10^6 bytes)Calculate exactly or with suitable approximation

(a) X's standard and standard deviation;

b) the probability that at least three bit errors occur in thedata file.

c) Suppose that instead of an unknown parameter. A test file ofsize 3.85 Mbytes is checked where 10 bit errors are found. Enter anumerical point estimate of p and enter its Standard deviation d[ˆp].
