Compute the expected value of the total amplitude

Suppose that electrical pulses having i.i.d. random amplitudes A1, A2, . . . arrive at a counter in accordance with a Poisson process with intensity λ. The amplitude of a pulse is assumed to decrease exponentially, that is, if a pulse has amplitude A upon its arrival, then its amplitude at time t is Ae-αt, where α is some positive parameter. We finally assume that the initial amplitudes of the pulses are independent of the Poisson process. Compute the expected value of the total amplitude at time t.

Compute the expected value of the total amplitude : We finally assume that the initial amplitudes of the pulses are independent of the Poisson process. Compute the expected value of the total amplitude at time t.

Explain why such a small figure is plausible : Studies have concluded that the dead weight loss of monopoly power in the United States is less than 0.5 percent of GNP. From your knowledge of the determinants of the dead-weight loss, explain why such a small figure is plausible.

Compute the expected value of the total waiting time : Compute the expected value of the total waiting time of all passengers who have come to the station in order to catch a train that leaves at time t.

What two quantities are conserved throughout the motion : Draw a diagram showing the direction of the incoming puck, the orientation of the string, and the direction of motion of the puck on the string after the elastic collision.

Find the distribution : Find the distribution of Tn, and compute E Tn and Var Tn. Remark. Customers arriving (and leaving) while the ATM is busy thus do not affect the service time.
