Essay
Construct a binary Huffman code for a source with three symbols and , having probabilities , and 0.1 , respectively. What is its average codeword length, in bits per symbol? What is the entropy of this source?
(b) Let's now extend this code by grouping symbols into 2-character groups - a type of VQ. Compare the performance now, in bits per original source symbol, with the best possible.
