5. In Topic 8: Virtual Memory, we learned that resolving page faults requires considerable time, as the operating system needs to copy a page from memory back to disk and copy a page from disk to memory. This knowledge allows us to calculate an updated average memory access time that takes the time spent on page faults into consideration. If the normal average memory access time is 153ns, the page fault handling time is 9900000ns, and the page fault rate is 0.005, what is the updated average memory access time? Show your full computation. (Slides: Topic 8, slide 14. Link (copy and paste in a new browser tab/window:)
