Compression works by taking advantage of the predictability of a file. The source of this file appears more likely to emit Os than 1s. What is the probability that the next character in this file is a 1?

Explanation / Answer

Answer : As the total number of 0's are : 271

Number Of 1's = 29

Total = 271+29 = 300

Probability of getting 1 = 29/300 = 0.09666
