   Hint

   Think of the definition of even numbers.

2. 2.

   If a binary number has 4 ones, what will happen to the Even Parity Flag?

   Hint

   Remember the concept of even parity.

3. 3.

   What does the Even Parity Flag indicate?

   • Number of 0's
   • Number of 1's is even
   • The number is prime

   Hint

   Focus on the definition of even numbers.

4. 4.

   True or False: The Even Parity Flag is set when the count of 1’s in a binary number is odd.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the basic properties of even and odd.
