    5. Problem 4.38 A binary transmission system sends a 0 bit using a 1 voltage signal
    and a 1 bit by transmitting a +1, The received signal is corrupted by noise N that
    has a Laplacian distribution with parameter . Assume that 0 bits and 1 bits are
    equiprobable.
    (a) Find the pdf of the received signal Y = X + N , where X is the transmitted
    signal, given that a 0 was transmitted; that a 1 was transmitted.
