A random number N of jobs are to be processed one at a time on a single processor. The processing time of the ith job is exponentially distributed with parameter 1, independent of the other processing times and N. The number of jobs N has a geometric distribution with parameter 1/2. What is the expected value of the total processing time? What is the probability that the total sum of processing times is greater than 2?
