Verified answer

ENGINEERING

When you make a phone call, the line is busy with probability 0.2 and no one answers with probability 0.3. The random variable X describes the conversation time (in minutes) of a phone call that is answered. X is an exponential random variable with E[X]=3 minutes. Let the random variable W denote the conversation time (in seconds) of all calls (W=0 when the line is busy or there is no answer.) (a) What is $F_{W(w)}$? (b) What is $f_{W}(w)$? (c) What are E[W] and Var[W]?

Verified answer

ENGINEERING

Fresh water is obtained from seawater at a rate of $1.5\ \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ by a desalination plant that consumes 11.5 MW of power and has a second-law efficiency of 20 percent. Determine the power that can be produced if the fresh water produced is mixed with the seawater reversibly.
