Two smart students, Ali ve Cem, finish their work at random times independent of each other, each with exponential pdf.s and means of, 3/2 ve 2 hours, respectively. They start at the same time.

a) Find the probability that Ali finishes the work after s hours.

b) Find the probability that Ali finishes the work after Cem.

(Hint: You may construct the joint pdf and its sample space and/or use conditional prob.)

The run times of two computer programs, A and B, are independent random variables. The run time of program A is an exponential random variable with mean 3 minutes, while that of program B is an Erl(2,lambda) random variable with mean 3 minutes. If both programs are being executed on two identical computers, what is the probability that program B will finish first?

Consider two products whose demands are independent of each other. Assume that their demands are Normally distributed and they have identical cost structures. Assume we use the newsvendor model covered in the class, which gives you a framework for how one makes inventory decisions under demand uncertainty. If we combine the demands of the two products (i.e. Pool the demands) will the total inventory decrease or increase as compared to making decisions separately for the two products. Show your arguments...
