For a random variable 'X' following the probability density function, p (x), shown in figure, the mean and the variance are, respectively.

Two resistors $$\,{R_1}$$ and $$\,{R_2}$$ (in ohms) at temperatures $${T_1}{}^ \circ K$$ and $${T_2}{}^ \circ K$$ respectively, are connected in series. Their equivalent noise temperature is.

Zero mean Gaussian noise of variance N is applied to a half wave rectifier. The mean squared value of the rectifier output will be:

A part of a communication system consists of an amplifier of effective noise temperature, $$Te = \,\,21\,\,{}^ \circ K\,$$, and a gain of 13 dB, followed by a cable with a loss of 3 dB. Assuming the ambient temperature to be $$300{}^ \circ \,K$$, we have for this part of the communication system,
