9.  Explain why parity bits were created. Explain the difference between odd and even parity. Given the following bit patterns, show how they would be represented (for the given parity):

 

a.      100 (odd parity)                                                      c.     110101 (odd parity)

b.     100 (even parity)                                                     d.    110101 (even parity)

 

 

 

      a.   100 (odd parity):                   1000

b.     100 (even parity):                 1001

c.      110101 (odd parity):             1101011

d.     110101 (even parity)            1101010
