A telegraphic communications system transmits the signals dot and dash. Assume that the statistical properties of the obstacles are such that an average of 2/5 of the dots and 1/3 of the dashes are changed. Suppose that the ratio between the transmitted dots and the transmitted dashes is 5:3. What is the probability that a received signal will be the same as the trans mitted signal if (a) the received signal is a dot, (b) the received signal is a dash.
