I got an interesting question on memory management and hope this is
right group to ask for help.
    In a swapping system with variable partitions, the segments have
    the probability distribution of 0.1*exp(-0.1s), where s is the
    segment size in kilobytes. The holes have the probability
    distribution of 0.2*exp(-0.3h), where h is the hole size in
    kilobytes, then what is the average fraction of wasted memory.

Thanx in advance for any help.
