Question

the following string of ASCII characters whose bit patterns havebeen converted into hexadeciminal for compactness:73 F4 E5 76 E5 4A EF 62 73. of the 8 bits in eachpair of digits, the leftmost is a parity bit, the remaining are the ASCII code,
A. convert thestring to bit form and decode the ASCII code B. determine theparity used: odd or even?
i dont reallyunderstand what the question is stating in the upper portion withit being hexa decimal so i cant convert it will rate lifesaver if someone can explain how to do this compactness:73 F4 E5 76 E5 4A EF 62 73. of the 8 bits in eachpair of digits, the leftmost is a parity bit, the remaining are the ASCII code,

Explanation / Answer

73  -  0111 0011
F4   -  1111 0100
E5   - 1110 0101
T6   - 0111 0110
E5   - 1110 0101
4A   - 0100 1010
EF - 1110 1111
62   - 0110 0010
73 -   01110011


Ignoring each parity bit for now and looking in Table of thetext, we can decode this string to
be “stefeJocs" as shown below: 0111 0011 -s
1111 0100   -t
1110 0101   -e
0111 0110   -v
1110 0101   -e
0100 1010   -J
1110 1111   -o
0110 0010   -c
0111 0011   -s


Now looking at the parity bit, itshould be obvious that odd parity is being used.

I hope this helpsyou.................
