A $50 \Omega$ lossless transmission line is terminated with a load $\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{L}}$ of $(50-\mathrm{j} 75) \Omega$ . If the average incident power on the line is $10 \: \mathrm{mW}$ , then the average power delivered to the load (in $\mathrm{mW}$ , rounded off to one decimal place) is $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$ .
