If the Bit Error Rate (BER) in a wireless communication system in 0.5%, then find the following at the receiving side,
A. How many errors (in bits) will be there if a 100MB file is sent?
B. What is the probability of exactly 6 errors (in bits) if a 100MB data is sent?
C. What is the probability of 4 or less than 4 errors (in bits) if a 100MB data is sent?

Step 1
100 Megabytes (MB) =838,860,800Bits
Bit Error Rate=Number of bits having errorTotal bits transferred
Number of bits having error =100MB0.5%=838,860,8000.5100=4194304
Step 2
(II) Probability that exactly 6 errors will be there in 100 MB file = incorrect bit/ Total number of transferred bit
=6838,860,800=0.000000007
III) P(Error will be 4 or less than 4)=1+2+3+4838,860,800=0.00000001
