Q. 78 Consider a binary digital communication system with equally likely 0’s and 1’s. When binary 0 is transmitted the detector input can lie between the levels -0.25 V and +0.25 V with equl probability : when binary 1 is transmitted, the voltage at the detector can have any value between 0 and 1 V with equal probability. If the detector has a threshold of 0.2 V (i.e., if the received signal is greater than 0.2 V, the bit is taken as 1), the average bit error probability is
(A) 0.15
(B) 0.2
(C) 0.05
(D) 0.5
