Over a certain binary communication channel, the symbol 0 is transmitted with probability 0.4 and 1 is transmitted with probability 0.6. It is given that p(ε/0) = 10-6 and p(ε/1) = 10-4, where p(ε/xi) is the probability of detecting the error given that xi is transmitted. What is the error probability of the channel?
A. 0.604 × 10-3
B. 0.604 × 10-5
C. 0.604 × 10-6
D. 0.604 × 10-4
