3) A light fixture contains five lightbulbs. The lifetime of each bulb is exponentially distributed with mean 200 hours. Whenever a bulb burns out, it is replaced. Let T be the time of the first bulb replacement. Let Xi, i = 1, . . . , 5, be the lifetimes of the five bulbs. Assume the lifetimes of the bulbs are independent.
If A, u are the rates of arrival and departure in an M/M/1 queue respectively, give the formula for the probability that there are n customers in the queue at any time in the steady-state.
Please help me solve.
How can I solve that question 3.7 (a and b)?
For the M/M/N/o system, the probability that an arrival will find all servers busy and will be forced to wait in queue is an important measure of performance of the M/M/N/∞ system. This probability is given by PQ N!(1 – p/N) | and is known as the Erlang C formula. Please derive the equation. What is the expected number of customers waiting in the queue (not in service)?
The time that it takes to service a car is an exponential random variable with rate 1.1. If A brings his car in at time 0 and B brings his car in at time t, what is the probability thatB’s car is ready before A’s? Assume that the service times are independent, and the servicebegins upon arrival.2. If both cars are brought in at time 0, with work starting on B’s car only when A’s car has beencompletely serviced, what is the probability that B’s car is ready before 2? Detailed explanation and calculation would be much appreciated.

John and Fred agree to play a series of tennis games. The first one to win three games is declared the overall winner. Suppose that John is a stronger tennis player than Fred. So, the probability that John wins each game is 0.6, and the outcome of each game is independent of the outcomes of the other games. a) Find the probability that John wins the series in i games, for i = 3, 4, 5. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Answer: b) Compare the probability that John wins with the probability that he would win if they played a win two-out-of-three series. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Answer:
