Explanation:
A redundancy check detects transmission errors by appending calculated bits onto the end of each segment of
data. A reasonableness check compares data to predefined reasonability limits or occurrence rates established
for the data. A parity check is a hardware control that detects data errors when data are read from one
computer to another, from memory or during transmission. Check digits detect transposition and transcription
errors.
