Server A sequentially handles 80 jobs, each of whose service times are i. i.d. (independent, identically distributed) with mean 50 milliseconds and standard deviation 10 milliseconds Server B has an analogous workload, but its 80 jobs each have mean 52 milliseconds and standard deviation 20 milliseconds (a) Estimate the probability that server A finishes in less than 3980 milliseconds. (b) Estimate the probability that server B finishes in less than 3980 milliseconds. (c) Suppose that the two random variables Xi ~ N( i,Æ¡?), for i E {1,2}, are independent. What is EX1-X2)? What is Var(X-%)? (d) Estimate the probability that server B finishes before A. You may use without proof the fact that, if X1 and X2 are independent normal random variables, then aXi + bX2 is also normal, for any constants a and b (and that the analogous statement holds for random variables that are approximately normal) (e) If you did part (d) correctly, you will discover that B has a nonnegligible chance of finishing earlier than A, even though A has the smaller mean completion time. Explain how this is possible

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
