1 .
Is the following matrix a transition matrix for a Markov chain problem?
2 .
Write a transition matrix based on the following information:
Among the faculty at a university, 70% of the faculty who order the university's yearbook one year will order it again the next year. 90% of the faculty who do not order the yearbook one year will also not order it the next year.
3 .
Consider a Markov chain with transition matrix
Note that two states are possible; let's call them state A and state B, so that, for example, the probability that a person moves from state A in one month to state B in the next month is 0.7. Suppose that in January, the population is evenly divided between states A and B. Find the state matrix which gives the distribution between states A and B in March.
4 .
