What this part means

Divide the expression above the line by the one below it.

Its job in the formula

The expression above the fraction bar is divided by the complete expression below it. The denominator must not be zero.

The passage around this formula

Helstrom’s binary decision theory supplies the minimum average probability of guessing the wrong path: pe(T)=1−D(T)2=1−1−V(T)22p_{\rm e}(T)=\frac{1-D(T)}{2} =\frac{1-\sqrt{1-V(T)^2}}{2}. For the balanced pure-state problem, the minimum-error measurement induces a symmetric binary channel. Its recovered decision information is
