Could someone please help me solve this problem: Data packets containing n bits

Question

Could someone please help me solve this problem: Data packets containing n bits are transmitted over acommunication link. A transmitted bit is correctly receivedwith probability p, independent of the correctness of any otherbit. (Any bit received incorrectly with probability1-p). What is the probability that only the first three bitsin a packet will be received incorrectly? Will rate ASAP Could someone please help me solve this problem: Data packets containing n bits are transmitted over acommunication link.

Explanation / Answer

Data packets containing n bits are transmitted over a communicationlink. A transmitted bit is correctly received withprobability p, independent of the correctness of any otherbit. (Any bit received incorrectly with probability 1-p). probability that only the first three bits in a packet willbe received incorrectly = (1-p)3 x(p)n-3   (ans)
