Hamming Distance
Detection: Minimum Distance = Number of error bits to be detected + 1
Correction: Minimum Distance = 2 * Number of error bits to be corrected + 1
Here,
Given, Minimum Distance = 2t + 1
According to the correction formula,
Number of error bits to be corrected = (Minimum Distance - 1)/2
Number of error bits to be corrected = (2t + 1 - 1)/2 = 2t / 2 = t (Answer)
