During transmission over a certain binary communication channel, bit errors occur independently with probability $p$. The probability of $\text{AT MOST}$ one bit in error in a block of $n$ bits is given by
  1. $p^n$
  2. $1-p^n$
  3. $n p(1-p)^{n-1}+(1-p)^n$
  4. $1-(1-p)^n$

At most one-bit error $=$ No error OR Exactly one-bit error
Probability of No error $=(1-p)^n$
Probability of Exactly one bit error $=(^n\mathrm{C}_1) p(1-p)^{n-1}$
