Patterns in Floor Tiling A square floor is to be tiled with square tiles as shown. There are blue tiles on the main diagonals and red tiles everywhere else.
In all cases, both blue and red tiles must be used. and the two diagonals must have a common blue tile at the center of the floor.
If 81 blue tiles will be used, how many red tiles will be needed?
For what numbers in place of 81 would this problem still be solvable?
Find an expression in k giving the number of red tiles required in general.

Assume the time each typist takes to prepare a report follows an exponential distribution with an average of 20 minutes per preparation (A = 3 reports/hour), and the service time for the typewriter to type out a report also follows an exponential distribution, averaging 30 minutes to complete a report (μ 2 reports/hour). Given that the number of typists is finite and all typists = share one typewriter, they will form a waiting queue. (1). Describe this queuing system and explain how it fits the characteristics of the M/M/1/∞0/m model. (2). Calculate the probability that any typist is using the typewriter at steady-state. (3). Calculate the average number of typists waiting in the queue at steady-state. (4).
