There are two printers in the computer lab. Printer i operates for an exponential time with rate λi before breaking down, i = 1, 2. When a printer breaks down, maintenance is called to fix it, and the repair times (for either printer) are exponential with rate μ. (a) Can we analyze this as a birth and death process? Briefly explain your answer. (b) Model this as a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC). Clearly define all the states and draw the state transition diagram.

Consider the discrete time model for population growth: Na+1 = Ne"(1-N,) with r > 0. (a) Find all steady states. (b) Discuss the stability of each steady state.
Sketch a graph of the updating function of the discrete-time dynamical system. Draw a cobwebbing diagram that determines whether the equilibrium point(s) are stable or unstable.
