Question 3. [9 Marks]. Recall that the exponential PDF has the form f (t; λ) = λe−λtwhere t, λ > 0 and λ is known as the rate parameter. Consider a job shop that consists of3 identical machines and 2 technicians. Suppose that, the amount of time each machineoperates before breaking down is exponentially distributed with rate parameter 0.1, and theamount of time a technician takes to fix a machine is exponentially distributed with rateparameter 0.4. Suppose that all the times to breakdown and times to repair are independentrandom variables and let X(t) be the number of machines which are operating at time t.(a) Determine the Q-matrix for this Markov process.(b) Write the forward equations involving the P ′0j (t), j = 0, 1, 2, 3, in terms ofpj (t) := P0j (t) = P(X(t) = j|X(0) = 0).(c) Obtain the equilibrium probabilities pj = limt→∞ pj (t).(d) What is the average number of busy technicians in the long-run?
