1. The following are parity questions
   1. Assume even parity and add a parity bit to 10101111
   2. Is the following data plus parity bit correct for even parity? Why or why not? 110011101
   3. Is the following data plus parity bit correct for odd parity? Why or why not? 100010111
2. Encode the following message into ASCII using eight bits per symbol. Use correct capitalization for full credit.
3. Consider a field containing 10 bits:
   1. What is the smallest non-negative integer that can be represented by this field?
   2. What is the largest non-negative integer that can be represented by this field?
4. 3. How many possible values can be represented by this field? (Hint: this is also called the RANGE).
