There is only one version of this question that you have access to.

Question statement

A set of words in $\mathbb{Z}_2^5$ is described below. You will be asked to encode them, calculate the minimum distance between code words, and describe how many errors can be detected or corrected.

Encoding is described as follows:

First, repeat the word. So if $w = 01101$ , then we would get $0110101101$ .
Add a parity bit to the end based on the original word. Since $\mathrm{wt}(w) = 3$ , then the parity bit is $1$ .
So $E(w) = 01101011011$ .

The set of words is $W = \{ \var{binstring1}, \var{binstring2}, \var{binstring3}, \var{binstring4}\}$ .

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Advice

The minimum distance is the smallest non-zero value of $d(x,y)$ where $x$ , $y \in C$ . Call this $m$ .

If the minimum distance of the code is $k$ , then the code can detect up to $m-1$ errors.

If the minimum distance of the code is $k$ , then the code can correct up to $\lfloor \frac{m-1}{2} \rfloor$ .
