A communication channel transmits a sequence of "bits" (0s and 1s). Suppose that for each bit transmitted, there is a 10% probability of observing a transmission error (a 1 that becomes 0 or a 0 that becomes 1). Additionally, the errors are assumed to occur independently. Consider a 1,000-bit transmission. What is the approximate probability that at most 125 errors will occur?
