Question

question: 2
what is the bitrate of a system?

• the number of bits used to encode a single letter
• the amount of data (in bits) that can be sent in a fixed amount of time
• the strength of the network connection
• the distance that data needs to travel in a network

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of bitrate, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes bits per letter encoding, not bitrate.
• The second option matches the definition of bitrate, which is the data (in bits) transmitted per unit time.
• The third option refers to network connection strength (like signal strength), not bitrate.
• The fourth option refers to data travel distance, unrelated to bitrate.

Answer:

B. The amount of data (in bits) that can be sent in a fixed amount of time
