6. Suppose in small town there are three places to eat, one Chinese restaurant, one Mexican restaurant, and a pizza place. Everyone in town eats dinner in one of these places or has dinner at home. Assume that 20% of those who eat in Chinese restaurant go to Mexican, 20% eat at home, and 30% go to pizza place next time. From those who eat in Mexican restaurant, 10% go to pizza place, 25% go to Chinese restaurant, and 25% eats at home next time. From those who eat at pizza place 30% eat at home, 30% eat at Chinese and 10% eat at Mexican restaurant next time. Those who eat at home 20% go to Chinese, 25% go to Mexican place, and 30% to pizza place next time. (a) Construct the (one-step) transition matrix? (b) Does this Markov chain have steady-state?
5. An office manager is looking to purchase a new printer for his office. He has narrowed his choices down to four printers but cannot decide which of the four he prefers. He has decided to choose two of the four printers at random, and then to let the other members of the office decide which of the two they prefer. The speeds, in pages per minute, of the four printers are 25, 30, 27, and 32. Considering the speeds of the two printers chosen to be the sample, what are the mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean?

9. In a batting cage, a young future slugger is swinging for the cheap seats-counting the number of pitches from one "home run" (in her mind) to the next: for instance, if she counts 4, it means it took her 4 pitches to get her first home run after she hit the last one. For 20 independent "home runs," her counts were: 3, 6, 2, 16, 12, 4, 4, 5, 15, 11, 3, 3, 2, 1, 8, 11, 5, 1, 2, 1. Assuming that these data can be looked upon as a random sample from a geometric population, a) Derive the maximum likelihood estimator for the geometric distribution's parameter 0. b) Estimate the parameter for the population the given sample was drawn from. Interpret your result (this interpretation should include what the pertinent population is for this problem; what, then, the parameter would represent, etc.)
