Question

​Parity checking can be based on even or odd bit counts.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parity checking can indeed be based on even or odd bit counts. In even parity checking, an extra bit is added to each data word to ensure that the total number of 1s in the word (including the parity bit) is an even number. In odd parity checking, the parity bit is instead chosen so that the total number of 1s is an odd number.
