A computer system carries out tasks submitted by two users. Time is divided into slots. A slot can be idle, with probability PI = 1/3, and busy with probability PB = 2/3. During a busy slot, there is probability P1/B = 1/4 (respectively, P2/B = 3/4) that a task from user 1 (respectively, 2) is executed. We assume that events related to different slots are independent. Choose , which is the probability  that a task from user 1 is executed for the first time during the 5th slot.  Choose , which is the expected number of slots up to and including the 5th task from user 1.
