Can anyone help me with the following answers: Thank You.
1) An alien language is discovered which has only 17 characters in its alphabet. Not including upper case characters, digits, punctuation characters, or any other special characters, what is the minimum number of bits required to represent a single character of this alien alphabet?
2) A piece of music is 10 minutes long. The voltage level of the microphone is sampled at 10000 times per second . If there are 256 levels of voltage that can be stored, what is the minimum number of bytes in the file required to store this music?
