There are two printers in the computer lab. Printer i operates for an exponential time withrate λi before breaking down, i = 1, 2. When a printer breaks down, maintenance is called to fix it,and the repair times (for either printer) are exponential with rate μ. (a) Can we analyze this as a birth and death process? Briefly explain your answer.(b) Model this as a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC). Clearly define all the statesand draw the state transition diagram.

1. A machine can be in one of four states: 'running smoothly' (state 1), 'running but needs adjustment' (state 2), 'temporarily broken' (state 3), and 'destroyed' (state 4). Each morning the state of the machine is recorded. Suppose that the state of the machine tomorrow morning depends only on the state of the machine this morning subject to the following rules. • If the machine is running smoothly, there is 1% chance that by the next morning it will have exploded (this will destroy the machine), there is also a 9% chance that some part of the machine will break leading to it being temporarily broken. If neither of these things happen then the next morning there is an equal probability of it running smoothly or running but needing adjustment. • If the machine is temporarily broken in the morning then an engineer will attempt to repair the machine that day, there is an equal chance that they succeed and the machine is running smoothly by the next day or they fail and cause the machine…
Consider two machines that are maintained by a single repairman. Each machine functions for an exponentially distributed amount of time with rate λ=2 before it fails. The repair times for each unit are exponential with rate μ=1.The Markov chain model for this situation has state space indicating the number of machines that are in the repair shop: S={0,1,2}. Notice that you move from 0 to 1 if one of the two machines breaks down. You move from 1 to 0 when the machine in the repair room is repaired.

According to data collected during one year in a large metropolitan community, 30% of commuters used public transportation to get to work, and this rose by 4% the following year. This is modeled by the transition matrix P P' M= P P' 0.9 0.1 0.1 0.9 , So = [0.3 0.7] where P represents the percentage of people that use public transportation and P' the percentage of people that do not.
