Question
Suppose the letters a, b, c, d, e, f have probabilities 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/32 respectively. Which of the following is the Huffman code for the letter a, b, c, d, e, f?Group of answer choices110, 100, 010, 000, 001, 11111, 10, 011, 010, 001, 00011, 10, 01, 001, 0001, 00000, 10, 110, 1110, 11110, 111
Solution
The Huffman code for the letters a, b, c, d, e, f with the given probabilities is 0, 10, 110, 1110, 11110, 11111.
Here's the step-by-step process:
-
First, list the letters and their probabilities in descending order:
a: 1/2, b: 1/4, c: 1/8, d: 1/16, e: 1/32, f: 1/32
-
Start by combining the two letters with the smallest probabilities. In this case, e and f both

Why are Huffman codes, calculated from the same probabilities, not unique? (That is, how can there be multiple different sets of code words that achieve the same thing?)Question 1Select one or more:The allocation of 0 to one path and 1 to the other, when generating the code words in the Huffman tree, is arbitrary.The probabilities do not influence the selection of Huffman code wordsProvided the set of code words are of variable length as calculated by the algorithm, it does not matter which code word is allocated to which symbol.If some symbol probabilities, or grouped symbol probabilities are the same, then the choice of which are combined is arbitraryHuffman code words are always n bits long to cover 2n symbols, so there allocation to particular symbols is arbitrary.
Suppose that the output of a process that generates independent symbols {A, B, C, D, E} with known probabilities {in the same order: 0.2, 0.33, 0.1, 0.07, 0.3 } needs to be communicated. If we constructed a Huffman code to represent the symbols, what would be the average number of binary digits/symbol that would result? (Your answer should be accurate up to the first decimal point. Type a number only - no units.)
