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.

In the B&K model of Example 18.5-1, suppose that the interarrival time at the checkout area is exponential with mean 5 minutes and that the checkout time per customer is also exponential with mean 10 minutes. Suppose further that will add a fourth counter. Counters 1,2, and 3 will open based on increments of two customers and counter 4 will open when there are 7 or more in the store.
