Two hosts A and B attempt to transmit on an Ethernet. Each host has a steady queue of frames ready to send. At an instant of time, the two hosts attempt to send their frames simultaneously and collision occurs. We say that the hosts enter into a backoff race. It is given that the probability of none wins the race is 1/16. If this is the first collision for A, what is the collision number of B in this race? Explain.
