A job shop consists of three machines and two repairmen. The amount of time a machine works before breaking down is exponentiall

y distributed with mean 10. If the amount of time it takes a single repairman to fix a machine is exponentially distributed with mean 8, then(a) what is the average number of machines not in use?(b) what proportion of time are both repairmen busy?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Define X(t) as the count of machines that are out of order at time t.

The specified issue is modeled with a birth-death process within the confined set

S={0, 1, 2, 3} alongside

\lambda_0=\frac{3}{10}, \mu_1=\frac{1}{8}\\\\ \lambda_1=\frac{2}{10}, \mu_2=\frac{2}{8}\\\\ \lambda_2=\frac{1}{10}, \mu_3=\frac{2}{8}

The balancing equations for the birth-death process are given by \lambda_sP_i=\mu_{s+1}P_{i+1},i=0,1,2

because the exiting rate = the entering rate

            0      \lambda_0P_0=\mu_1P_1

             1     (\lambda_1+\mu_1)P_1= \mu_2P_2 + \lambda_0P_0

             2   (\lambda_2+\mu_2)P_2= \mu_3P_3 + \lambda_1P_1

P_1=\frac{12}{5}P_0=P_0=\frac{5}{12}P_1\\\\P_2=\frac{48}{25}P_0=P_0=\frac{25}{48}P_2\\\\P_3=\frac{192}{250}P_0=P_0=\frac{250}{192}P_3

Since \sum\limits^3_{i=0} {P_i=1}\\\\p_0=[1+\frac{5}{12}+\frac{48}{25}+\frac{192}{250}]^{-1}=\frac{250}{1522}

a)

The average number of machines not in operation is reflected in the mean of the stationary distribution P_1+2P_2+3P_3=\frac{2136}{751}

b)

The fraction of time both repair technicians are engaged P_2+P_3=\frac{672}{1522}=\frac{336}{761}

Last year a banquet hall charged $65 per person to attend a function. The function C(p) = 65p represents the total cost, C, to r
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

Domain = [0, 50]

Range   = [0, 3250]

Step-by-step explanation:

A function illustrates the relationship between two variables (independent and dependent). The independent variable depends on nothing else, serving as the function's input, while the dependent variable relies on the independent variable, acting as the output.

The domain of a function includes all possible input variables (independent variable), and the range encompasses all potential output variables (dependent variables).

For the function C(p) = 65p, p represents the independent variable and C(p) constitutes the dependent variable.

As the hall accommodates a maximum of 50 individuals, the domain of this function is defined as [0, 50]

C(0) results in 65(0) = 0 and C(50) results in 65(50) = 3250

Thus, the range of this function is [0, 3250]

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
PIT_PIT [12445]
Answer: 504 Step-by-step explanation: To find the result for the left-leaning poll, Total voters = 900 + 1100 = 2000. Voters who say Trump was responsible = 56% of 2000, which equals 1120. Voters who say otherwise = 44% of 2000, which amounts to 880. For this network, those who say Trump is responsible = 1120 × (900/2000) = 1008000/2000, resulting in 504 registered voters.

Two players A and B play a marble game. Each player has both a red and blue marble. They present one marble to each other. If bo
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Player A has a red marble and a blue marble, while Player B also has a red marble and a blue marble.

Therefore, the probability of selecting one marble is equal, at 0.5.

Due to the independence of A and B's choices, the joint event is calculated by multiplying the probabilities.

Let A represent the amount that player A wins.

If both players select one marble, the sample space can be considered as

             (R,R)  (R,B)  (B,R) (B,B)

Probability     0.25  0.25  0.25  0.25

A's winnings          3       -2     -2       1

E(A)      0.75   -0.5    -0.5   0.25   =    0

Thus, the game is even, offering equal expected values for both A and B.

It does not influence the outcome whether you are A or B.

The length, breadth ND height of box are 32 cm 16cm, 8cm.wht is the maxim length of the string that can be used to measure the s
babunello [11817]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum potential length of the string corresponds to the greatest common divisor of 32, 16, and 8.

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

8 = 2 * 2 * 2

The GCD = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

The greatest length of the string = 8 cm
