Question:

Suppose we want to devise a binary code to represent the fuel levels in a car:

a. If we need to describe only the possible levels (empty, 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full, and full), how many bits are needed?

b. Give one possible binary code that describes the levels in (a).

c. If we need to describe the levels (empty, 1/8 full, 1/4 full, 3/8 full, 1/2 full, 5/8 full, 3/4 full, 7/8 full, and full), how many bits would be needed?

d. If we used an 8-bit code, how many levels could we represent?
