Normal DistributionA remote computer sends a 1 or 0 by sending either p(t) or –p(t), respectively… where the pulse p(t) is given by:
p(t) = 1, 0 t T 0, otherwise
When the pulse is received it is corrupted by Gaussian noise which is added to the signal. Assume that this noise has zero mean and variance of 1. Suppose that you wish to measure a single value within a received pulse and use that to determine if a 1 or 0 was sent. Then the value that you measure would be a Gaussian RV Z modeled as follows:
Z = ± 1 + VWhere V is a Gaussian RV with zero mean and variance of 1. You decide that a 1 was sent if the measured Z is such that Z > 0 and otherwise will decide that a 0 was sent. Consider the case where a 1 was sent (thus Z = +1 +V). What is the probability of making an error?
