Assume that two nodes, A and B$,$ are connected via a full duplex

line of $10$ km$.$ Node A transmits frames to node B at a data rate of

$10$ Mbits$/$s$.$ Assume that all the frames have a fixed size of $1000$

bits; and the BER of the line is equal to $10-6.$

The probability of receiving a frame in error depends on:

$($a$)$ data rate

$($c$)$ BER

$3\mathrm{.}1($a$)$

$($b$)$ distance of the line

$($d$)$ neither a$,$ b or c
