3. (Competing patterns among coin flips) Suppose that Xn, n > 1 are i.i.d. random variables with P(X1 = 1) = P(X1 = 0) = }. (These are just i.i.d. fair coin flips.) Let A = (a1, a2, a3) = (0, 1, 1), B = (b1, b2, b3) = (0,0, 1). Let TA = min(n 2 3: {Xn-2, Xn-1, Xn) = A} be the first time we see the sequence A appear among the Xn random variables, and define TB similarly for B. Find the probability that P(TA < TB). (This is the probability that THH shows up before TTH in a sequence of fair coin flips.)

Consider a two-server system in which a customer is served first by server 1, then by server 2, and then departs. The service times at server i are exponential random variables with rates μi , i = 1, 2. When you arrive, you find server 1 free and two customers at server 2 — customer A in service and customer B waiting in line • (a) Find P , the probability that A is still in service when you move A over to server 2. • (b) Find PB, the probability that B is still in the system when you move over to 2. • (c) Find E[T], where T is the time that you spend in the system.
