5. Suppose that the depth of water, measured in meters, behind a dam is described by the exponential random variable with probability density (pdf) given by {135x (135) exp(- X 0 fx(x) = 13.5 exp 0, x <0 There is an emergency overflow valve at the top of the dam that prevents the depth from exceeding 40.6m. There is a pipe placed 32m below the overflow that feeds water to a hydroelectric generator. (a) What is the probability that water is wasted through emergency overflow? (b) Given that water is not wasted in overflow, what is the probability that the generator will have water to drive it? (c) What is the probability that water will be too low to produce power? 5.
