A binary source generates symbols X∈{-1,1} which are transmitted over a noisy channel. The probability of transmitting X=1 is 0.5. Input to the threshold detector is R=X+N.
The probability density function fN(n) of the noise N is shown below. If the detection threshold is zero, then the probability of error (correct to two decimal places) is

Correct : 0.125
