Question: 8
(Choose 1 answer)
A simple binary communication channel carries messages by using only two signals, say 0 and 1. A
transmission error occurs when 0 becomes 1 or 1 becomes 0. We assume that, for a given binary channel,
30% of the time a 1 is transmitted; the probability that a transmitted 0 is correctly received is 0.89, and the
probability that a transmitted 1 is correctly received is 0.92. Determine the probability of a 1 being received.
A. 0.353
B. 0.272
C. 0.436
D. 0.168
E. None of the other choices is correct
