An informational message of 300 bits contains 100 characters. What is the power of the alphabet?

If a message of 100 characters takes up 300 bits of memory, then 300: 100 = 3 bits are required to store one character of text.

A binary code with a size of 3 bits can have 2 ^ 3 = 8 possible states (here 2 is the number of possible states of each code element (0 or 1), 3 is the length of the code).

Thus, the maximum number of characters in the alphabet is 8, this is its cardinality.
