Exercise 2.71: Suppose we have a Huffman tree
for an alphabet of
n
symbols, and that the relative frequencies of the
symbols are
1
,
2
,
4
,
,
2
n
1
. Sketch the tree for
n
=
5
; for
n
=
10
. In such a tree (for general
n
) how many bits are required to
encode the most frequent symbol? The least frequent symbol?
