A modem transmits over an error-prone channel, so it repeats every "0" or "1" bit transmission five times. We call each such group of five bits a "codeword." The channel changes an input bit to its complement with probability p = 1/10 and it does so independently of its treatment of other input bits. The modem receiver takes a majority vote of the five received bits to estimate the input signal. Find the probability that the receiver makes the wrong decision.
