Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Transmission (Section 6 - No. 41)
Which of the following scenarios would be most likely to cause an error detectable by a parity check?
A single bit is flipped during transmission.
Two bits are flipped during transmission.
Data is encrypted before transmission.
The data is compressed before transmission.
Explication
Parity checks are designed to catch single-bit errors.
