One original Exam P practice question with full solution

Daily renewable output is 200 megawatt-hours on one fifth of days, 500 on one half, and 900 on the remaining three tenths. A storage operator keeps only output above a threshold h between 200 and 500. Choose h so expected stored surplus is 224 megawatt-hours.

  1. 300 MWh
  2. 340 MWh
  3. 350 MWh
  4. 370 MWh
  5. 400 MWh

For a threshold between 200 and 500, only the 500 and 900 outcomes contribute. Solving 0.5(500-h)+0.3(900-h)=224 gives h=370.

Setup

Because 200<h<500, the 200-MWh outcome contributes no stored surplus, while the 500- and 900-MWh outcomes contribute 500-h and 900-h.

X{200,500,900}X\in\{200,500,900\}
200<h<500200<h<500

Model

Weight the two positive surplus amounts by probabilities 0.5 and 0.3 and set their sum equal to the required mean of 224 MWh.

E[(Xh)+]=0.5(500h)+0.3(900h)E[(X-h)_+]=0.5(500-h)+0.3(900-h)

Compute

The expectation simplifies to 520-0.8h. Solving 520-0.8h=224 gives h=370, which lies in the assumed interval.

5200.8h=224520-0.8h=224
h=370h=370

Answer

Thus the required storage threshold is 370 MWh, corresponding to choice D.

370 MWh(D)\boxed{370\ \text{MWh}\quad\text{(D)}}

Why the other choices are wrong

A
Substituting h=300 gives expected surplus 0.5(200)+0.3(600)=280 MWh, not 224.
B
Substituting h=340 gives expected surplus 0.5(160)+0.3(560)=248 MWh, not 224.
C
Substituting h=350 gives expected surplus 0.5(150)+0.3(550)=240 MWh, not 224.
E
Substituting h=400 gives expected surplus 0.5(100)+0.3(500)=200 MWh, not 224.

Independent value370
Independent methodAt h=370, the three surplus outcomes are 0, 130, and 530; their weighted mean is 0.5(130)+0.3(530)=224.
