Radars detect flying objects by measuring the power reflected from them. The reflected power of an aircraft can be modeled as a random variable Y with pdf fy(y) = Se-y/³ y ≥ 0 otherwise The aircraft is correctly identified by the radar if the reflected power of the aircraft is larger than its average value. What is the probability P(C) that an aircraft is correctly identified?
