The American Standard Code for Information Interchange $($ASCII$)$ has $128$ characters, which

are binary$-$coded. If a certain computer generates $100,000$ characters per second, determine the

following:

$($a$)$ The number of bits $($binary digits$)$ required per character.

$($b$)$ The number of bits per second required to transmit the computer output, and the minimum

bandwidth required to transmit this signal.

$($c$)$ For single error detection capability, an additional bit $($parity bit$)$ is added to the code of each

character. Modify your answers in parts $($a$)$ and $($b$)$ in view of this information.
