1. The problem is to decode a binary message where each 4-bit segment corresponds to a letter from a predefined table. 2. The decoding rule is: each 4-bit binary code maps to a letter from 'a' to 'p' as given in the two tables. 3. To decode, split the message into groups of 4 bits. 4. For each 4-bit group, find the corresponding letter using the tables: - 0000 to 0111 map to a-h - 1000 to 1111 map to i-p 5. Replace each 4-bit code with its letter to get the decoded message. This is a direct lookup problem, no algebraic manipulation needed. Final answer: Use the given tables to translate each 4-bit segment into letters a-p accordingly.
