⦁ You are observing the speeds of two CPUs, to find which one is expected to run faster. After a number of observations, you came up with the following results:   ⦁ Using this data, calculate the expected speed of each processor, and determine which of the two is faster. (Hint: when given a range of speeds, you can consider the average value within that range to be the speed at which the observations occurred). ⦁ You studied a third CPU and found that its speed is a continuous random variable that follows a normal distribution, with a mean value of 3.6 GHz and a standard deviation of 0.8 GHz. Find the probability that the third CPU would run faster than the expected speed of CPU1. ⦁ A company is developing a new CPU, and they sent you a unit so you can test it. This CPU is still in development; therefore, it is not stable and can cause some errors when running. If the probability that this CPU causes an error when doing one operation is 1%, find the probability that the CPU would run a full program, which contains 80 operations without producing any errors.
