The solutions manual generated on July 13, 2007 requires the following corrections:
- Ch 1, Problem 16, change
$\bigcup\nolimits_i a_i$ to $\bigcup\nolimits_i \{a_i\}$.
6/20/08.
- Ch 1, Problem 17, change
$\bigcup\nolimits_j c_{i j}$ to $\bigcup\nolimits_j\{ c_{i j} \}$.
1/18/09.
- Ch 1, Problem 51, 6th display, 2nd denominator:
Change pn+1 to 1 − pn+1. 2/3/10.
- Ch 2, Problem 19, change both occurrences of
$X_k= $10 to $X_k= $19.
10/7/10.
- Ch 5, Problem 50, the definition of h(t) is incorrect;
it should be as in the text, h(t) = ln
P(Y > t). 1/20/08.
- Ch 5, Problem 53, 3rd line, change "decode of" to "decode if". 11/30/10.

on the left-hand side (2 places). 3/13/09.
- Ch 9, Problem 18, change u to − u in several places. 3/30/09.
- Ch 13, Problem 65, change "If Xn=0 or Xn=1"
to "If Xn=0 or Xn=N"
- Ch 14, Problem 10, last line, change "distribution" to "probability". 4/22/11.
The solutions manual generated on Mar. 23, 2006 requires the following corrections (in addition to those above):
- Ch 4, Problem 55(c), 3 + signs in denominators should be −. 11/14/06.
