The asymptotical behaviour (n --> oo) of the probability that this subspace will be of minimal weight is established. It is well known [1] that the number of fc-dimensional subspaces V* in the n-dimensional vector space Vn over a finite field GF(q) which consists of q elements (q is a degree of a prime number) is - ("-* -W'' -O· jsQ (l) Let ] =1, n ^ 0. The number of non-zero components of the vector v E Vn is said to be the weight of the vector v. The minimal weight of a non-zero vector v £ V* is called the weight of thefc-dimensionalsubspace V* of the space Vn, l ^ k ^ n. Later on ^*|w) denotes the - dimensional subspace of weight w, V(*|u;) !
