informaatiomäärän
Informaatiomäärä refers to the quantity of information. It is a fundamental concept in information theory and computer science, often quantified in bits. A bit is the basic unit of information, representing a binary choice, such as true or false, yes or no. The more possible states an event or system can have, the larger the amount of information needed to describe it. For instance, distinguishing between two outcomes requires one bit of information, while distinguishing between four outcomes requires two bits.
The measurement of information is closely tied to probability and uncertainty. Events that are more predictable
In practical terms, informaatiomäärä is relevant in data compression, communication systems, and data storage. Efficient encoding
