Q96

Consider a communication scheme where the binary values signal X satisfies PX = 1 = 0.75 and PX = -1 = 0.25. The received signal Y = X + Z, where Z is Gaussian random variable with zero mean and variance σ2. The received signal Y is fed to the threshold detector. The output of the threshold detector \[ X\] is \[ X = \ arrayl + 1,\,\,\, Y > \\ - 1,\,\,\, Y array .\] To achieve a minimum probability of error \[ P \ X X \ ,\] the threshold τ should be
