Multiple choice

A source generates three symbols with probabilities 0.25, 0.25, 0.50 at a rate of 3000 symbols per second. Assuming independent generation of symbols, the most efficient source encoder would have average bit rate as

  1. 6000 bits/sec

  2. 4500 bits/sec

  3. 3000 bits/sec

  4. 1500 bits/sec
