4 Nine bytes of data are transmitted from one computer to another. Even parity is used. An additional parity byte is also sent. The ten bytes arrive at the destination computer as follows: parity bit bit 2 bit 3 bit 4 bit 5 bit 6 bit 7 bit 8 byte 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 byte 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 byte 3 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 byte 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 byte 5 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 byte 6 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 byte 7 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 byte 8 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 byte 9 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 parity byte 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 One of the bits was corrupted during the data transmission. (a) Circle the corrupt bit in the corrupt byte in the table above. (b) Explain how the corrupted bit was found.

1. (a)Circle the corrupt bit in the corrupt byte in the table above.[1]
