A transmitting system transmits 0's and l's. The probability of a correcttransmission of a 0 is 0.8, and it is 0.9 for a 1. We know that 45% of the transmittedsymbols are 0's.(a) What is the probability that the receiver gets a 0?(b) If the receiver gets a 0, what is the probability the transmitting system actuallysent a 0?Ans: (a- 0.415, b- 0.867)

Let us define some events A : the system transmits 0. B : the system transmits 1. E : the receiver…
