Question 15

The duration, TTT hours, for which a specialized solar cell generates its maximum power output during a laboratory test cycle is modeled by the probability density function

f(t)={2t270≤t≤k127(9−t)k<t≤90otherwise f(t) = \begin{cases} \frac{2t}{27} & 0 \le t \le k \\ \frac{1}{27}(9-t) & k < t \le 9 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} f(t)=⎩⎨⎧​272t​271​(9−t)0​0≤t≤kk<t≤9otherwise​
