Problem #66: Im confused on how to find the bits. Not sure if I have to use mod 2 to find the parity bits.

1 Data Representation in Computer Systems Chapter 2 65. In defining the Hamming distance for a code, we choose to use the minimum (Ham- to use ming) distance between any two encodings. Explain why it would not be better the maximum or average distance. 66. Suppose we want an error-correcting code that will allow all single-bit errors to be corrected for memory words of length 10 a) How many parity bits are necessary? b) Assuming we are using the Hamming algorithm presented in this chapter to design u fred the code word to represet thet maion 1001 100110
