What is the advantage of including parity bits in ASCII characters?
Faster transmission rate
Signal-to-noise ratio is improved
A larger character set is available
Some types of errors can be detected✓Correct answer
Explanation
A parity bit is set so that the number of ones in each character is odd or even by prior agreement, letting the receiver tell that something is wrong whenever the count does not match. It reveals errors but cannot identify which bit changed, and it misses errors that flip an even number of bits.
