Each user alternates between "thinking" intervals whose durations are independent exponentially distributed with parameter Y, and an "active" mode that starts by submitting a service re- quest. The server can only serve one request at a time, and will serve a request completely before serving other requests. The service times of different requests are independent exponentially distributed random variables with parameter μ, and also independent of the thinking times of the users. Construct a Markov chain model and derive the steady-state distribution of the number of pending requests, including the one presently served, if any.arrow_forwardUse laplace to transform.arrow_forward
- In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps.

You will need to select one question from the qualitative category, and one question from the quantitative category. Remember the intent of these questions is to make comparisons and analyze data to eventually make inferences about and possibly draw conclusions about the larger population. You should make notes as you gather your data on what things might be missing, what factors might be contributing to this data, and what questions you still have.
