(Transition Probabilities)must be about Markov Chain. Any year on a planet in the Sirius star system is either economic growth or recession (constriction). If there is growth for one year, there is 70% probability of growth in the next year, 10% probability recession is happening. If there is a recession one year, there is a 30% probability of growth and a 60% probability of recession the next year. (a) If recession is known in 2263, find the probability of growth in 2265. (b) What is the probability of a recession on the planet in the year Captain Kirk and his crew first visited the planet? explain it to someone who does not know anything about the subject

A factory worker will quit with probability 1/2 during her first month, with probability 1/4 during her second month and with probability 1/8 after that. Whenever someone quits, their replacement will start at the beginning of the next month. Model the status of each position as a Markov chain with 3 states. Identify the states and transition matrix.

Find the average number of the workers who have been there for more than 2 months.

For the following Markov models: a ito dove b) find the stationary probability distribution on paper, SUre 5A An ion channel can be in either open or closed state. If it is open, then it has probability 0.1 of closing in 1 microsecond; if closed, it has probability 0.3 of opening in 1 microsecond. 5B An individual can be either susceptible or infected, the probability of infection for a susceptible person is 0.05 per day, and the probability an infected person becoming susceptible is 0.12 per day. 5C The genotype of an organism can be either normal (wild type) or mutant. Each generation, a wild type individual has probability 0.03 of having a mutant offspring, and a mutant has probability 0.005 of having a wild type offspring.
