To prove Equation (7.24), define the following notation: \(X_{i}^{\prime}=\) time spent in state \(i\) on the \(j\) th visit to this state; \(N_{i}(m)=\) number of visits to state \(i\) in the first \(m\) transitions In terms of this notation, write expressions for (a) the amount of time during the first \(m\) transitions that the process is in state i; (b) the proportion of time during the first \(m\) transitions that the process is in state \(\underline{L}\) Argue that, with probability 1 , (c) \(\sum_{j=1}^{N_{1}(m)} \frac{X_{i}^{\prime}}{N_{i}(m)} \rightarrow \mu_{l} \quad\) as \(m \rightarrow \infty\) (d) \(N_{1}(m) / m \rightarrow n_{i}\) as \(m \rightarrow \infty\). (e) Combine parts (a), (b), (c), and (d) to prove Equation (7.24).
Each time a certain machine breaks down it is replaced by a new one of the same type. In the long run, what percentage of time is the machine in use less than one year old if the life distribution of a machine is (a) uniformly distributed over \((0,2) ?\) (b) exponentially distributed with mean \(1 ?\)
A coin that comes up hends with probability \(0.6\) is continually flipped. Find the expected number of flips until cither the sequence \(t h h t\) or the sequence \(t t t\) occurs, and find the probability that \(t t t\) occurs first.
For a renewal process, let \(A(t)\) be the age at time \(t\). Prove that if \(\mu<\infty\), then with probability 1 $$ \frac{A(t)}{t} \rightarrow 0 \quad \text { as } t \rightarrow \infty $$
Write a program to approximate \(m(t)\) for the interarrival distribution \(F+G\), where \(F\) is exponential with mean 1 and \(G\) is exponential with mean 3.
