Problem Statement
In a simple parity check, what happens if the number of 1s in transmitted data is odd but the parity bit expects even parity?
Explanation
A parity bit is an extra bit added to make the total number of 1s even or odd. If the received data does not match the expected parity rule, an error is detected. Though it cannot correct errors, parity checking provides a quick and inexpensive error-detection method.
