In a binary transmission channel, a 1 is transmitted with probability 2/3 and a 0 with probability 1/3. The conditional probability of receiving a 1 when a 1 was sent is 0.94, the conditional probability of receiving a 0 when a 0 was sent is 0.87. Given that a 1 is received, what is the probability that a 1 was transmitted?
