Shannon code. Consider the following method for generating a code for a random variable X that takes on m values {1, 2,...,m} with probabilities p1, p2,...,pm. Assume that the probabilities are ordered so that p1 ≥ p2 ≥···≥ pm. Define

the sum of the probabilities of all symbols less than i. Then the code word for i is the number Fi ∈ [0, 1] rounded off to li bits, where ![]()
(a) Show that the code constructed by this process is prefix-free and that the average length satisfies
H (X) ≤ L
(b) Construct the code for the probability distribution (0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.125).
