The check digit is added to an identification number so that the typical errors humans make when they record data are detected. By far, the most common errors are single-digit errors, omitting or adding a digit, and transposing two adjacent digits. There are other less common errors, too. Research the types of errors made in transmitting data. What percent of the time is each type of error made? How can check digits be used to detect the less-frequent errors? Use search keywords “check-digit schemes” on the Internet and write a report to summarize your findings. Include examples of the various types of errors and schemes designed to detect the errors.
