A communication system consists of a transmitter that sends bits that are equally likely to be 0 or 1
through a noisy channel and a receiver that records the channel output which is also either a 0 or a 1. Because
of noise, when a 0 is sent the probability that it is received correctly is 0.8, and when a 1 is sent, the probability
that it is received correctly is 0.9. If the channel output recorded by the receiver is a 1, what is the probability of error?
