Question 80

An information theorist studying data compression models determines that the efficiency factor of a specific algorithm is given by ϵ=log⁡27\epsilon = \log_2 7ϵ=log2​7. A developer claims that this factor is a rational number and can be expressed exactly as a ratio of two integers pq\displaystyle \frac{p}{q}qp​. Use the method of proof by contradiction to show that the developer's claim is incorrect.
