Consider a single-server queueing system that can hold a maximum of two customers excluding those being served. The
server serves customers only in batches of two, and the service time (for a batch) has an exponential distribution with a
mean of 1 unit of time. Thus if the server is idle and there is only one customer in the system, then the server must wait
for another arrival before beginning service. The customers arrive according to a Poisson process at a mean rate of 1 per
unit of time.
(1). Draw the rate diagram. (Hint: think about how the state will change after one service completion.)
(2). Set
up the rate balance equations. (Hint: use the rate balance equations 1.)
(3). Compute pn and L.
(4). Compute the actual mean arrival rate Ā.

- Dungeons and Dragons: Part A A 20-sided die is often used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. During the game players may face something called a "skill check" where they must roll a 20-sided die and get a result equal to or above a given value. For example, a player may be required to roll a 15 or above in order to succeed and pass the skill check. Rolling a 14 or lower would be a failure. If the player rolls the die 10 times in a row, what is the expected number of rolls that would pass the skill check by rolling as a 15 or higher? For the previous calculations, what is the standard deviation for the number of times the die would be rolled 15 or above During a game of Dungeons and Dragons, the previously-mentioned player rolls the 20-sided die 30 times in total. What is the probablity that they successfully roll a 15 or higher exactly 7 times during that game?

- There are m users who share a computer system. 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_forwardPhase 1C: Question Writing and Approval Based on either your own discussion post or ideas sparked from what others mentioned, select two questions you’d like to answer by analyzing data from Census at School.

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.
