Binary question?

If the binary value 10010011 represented a character transmitted using even parity but was erroneously received as 10110011, would the receiver be able to detect an error? Why or why not?

    Yes, because there was 1 error, which means the odd/even would be off and the parity bit would not match the data.

    Depends on the receiver and its error correction abilities

    Yes. Easily detected it is wrong.
