Consider a global network that provides secure communication link between Singapore and Germany. There are two possible communication paths depending on their availability. The waiting time for path A to become available is given by an exponential random variable X, which has an expected value of 10 seconds. The waiting time for path B (more expensive) to become available is also given by an exponential random variable Yand has an expected value of 5 seconds. Assume that the random variables are independent of each other. The transmission time from Singapore to Germany is fixed for these paths, i.e., path A takes 30 seconds while path B takes 25 seconds. 16. Fill in the blanks ба) ) Find the probability that path B becomes available first. Answer: 1 (3SF). Enter the correct answer below. 1 Please enter a number for this text box.
