Question
Chapter 4.CR, Problem 1CR
To determine
To explain:
The meaning when we say that a numeration system is positional with an examples.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution:
When the numeration system is positional, then the symbols of numerals should be placed in its position for not to change the original value of the number.
Explanation of Solution
Consider the following examples of in positional system.
The above given numeral is the system of Babylonian numeration.
The following table lists the value of each selected numeral of 
.
| Selected Numerals (Egyptian numeration) | Equivalent numeral in decimal system |
 |
1 |
 |
10 |
The position of the numeral is right of the numeral 
.
Thus, the given numeral must be greater than 60.
Hence,
The above given numeral is the system of Babylonian numeration.
The following table lists the value of each selected numeral 
.
| Selected Numeral (Babylonian numeration) | Equivalent numeral in decimal system |
 |
1 |
 |
10 |
The position of the numeral is left of the numeral and also to the right of the same .
Thus, the given numeral must be greater than 60.
Also here we have numeral to the left of the second 60-group.
Thus,
XLVIII
The above given numeral is in the system of Roman numeration.
The following table lists the value of each selected numeral of
| Selected Numeral (Roman Numeration) | Equivalent numeral in decimal system |
| X | 10 |
| L | 50 |
| V | 5 |
| I | 1 |
Thus,
DCCIX
The above given numeral is in the system of Roman numeration.
The following table lists the value of each selected numeral of CD.
| Selected Numeral (Roman Numeration) | Equivalent numeral in decimal system |
| D | 500 |
| C | 100 |
| I | 1 |
| X | 10 |
Thus,
In the above examples changing the position of the symbol changes the value of the numeral.
Therefore, when the numeration system is positional, then the symbols of numerals should be placed in its position for not to change the original value of the number.

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.
Use laplace to transform.
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.
In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value.
In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55.
In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
