A source emits bit 0 with probability $$\frac{1}{3}$$ and bit 1 with probability $$\frac{2}{3}.$$ The emitted bits are communicated to the receiver. The receiver decides for either 0 or 1 based on the received value R. It is given that the conditional density functions of R as \[\begin{gathered} {f_{R|0}}\left( r \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{1}{4},}&{ - 3 \leqslant r \leqslant 1} \\ {0,}&{{\text{otherwise;}}} \end{array}} \right. \hfill \\ {f_{R|1}}\left( r \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{1}{6},}&{ - 1 \leqslant r \leqslant 5} \\ {0,}&{{\text{otherwise;}}} \end{array}} \right. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] The minimum decision error probability is
