6.6. A computer device can be either in a busy mode (state 1) processing a task, or in an idle 162 Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists mode (state 2), when there are no tasks to process. Being in a busy mode, it can finish a task and enter an idle mode any minute with the probability 0.2. Thus, with the probability 0.8 it stays another minute in a busy mode. Being in an idle mode, it receives a new task any minute with the probability 0.1 and enters a busy mode. Thus, it stays another minute in an idle mode with the probability 0.9. The initial state X0 is idle. Let Xn be the state of the device after n minutes. (a) Find the distribution of X2. (b) Find the steady-state distribution of Xn

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
