Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the total number of bits transmitted by multiplying the data rate of 2.048 Mbps by the duration of 10 hours converted to seconds, resulting in approximately 73.728 billion bits. Next, divide the total number of errors (512) by this total bit count to determine the Bit Error Rate, which yields approximately 6.94 x 10^-9.
