1. A service station has both self-service and full-service islands. On each island, there is a single regular unleaded pump with two hoses. Let X denote the number of hoses being used on the self-service island at a par- ticular time, and let Y denote the number of hoses on the full service island in use that time. The joint pmf of X and Y appears in the accompanying tabulation.

0 1 2
0 .10 .04 .02
1 .08 .20 .06
2 .06 .14 .30

a. WhatisP(X=1andY =1)?

b. ComputeP(X≤1andY ≤1).

c. Compute P(X ̸= 1 and Y ̸= 1).

d. Compute the marginal pmf of X and Y. Using pX(x), what is P(X ≤ 1)?

e. Are X and Y are independent? Explain.

2. Each front tire on a particular type of vehicle is supposed to be filled to a pressure of 26 psi. Suppose the actual air pressure in each tire is a random variable – X for the right tire and Y for the left tire, with joint pdf

?K(x2 +y2), 20≤x≤30, 20≤y≤30,

f(x,y) =

0, otherwise

a. What is the value of K?

b. What is the probability that both tires are underfilled?

c. What is the probability that the difference in air pressure between the two tires is at most 2 psi? (Hint: Draw the shaded region first and then find the boundary of the integration.)

d. Determine the marginal pdf of X and Y . e. Are X and Y independent? Explain.
f. Find E(X) and E(Y ).

A car wash has two stations, 1 and 2. The service time at station 1 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ1, and the service time at station 2 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ2.When a car arrives at the car wash, it begins service at station 1, provided station 1 is free; otherwise, the car waits until station 1 is available. Upon completing service at station 1, the car then proceeds to station 2, provided station 2 is free; otherwise,...

1. How would you design a service for self- recovery if a self-service failure in a technology- generated service encounter were to occur? 2. Why do service firms hesitate to offer a service guarantee? 3. Compare the worst service experience you've ever had to the best service experience you've ever had. What did the service provider do differently to make these experiences stand out in such contrast to one another? Consider all dimensions of the service package in your answer....
