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,ơ?), 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

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
