A Doctor in computer engineering purchases a new computer every two years with preferences for three models; X, Y and Z. If the present model is X, the next computer may be Y with probability 0.2 or Z with probability 0.15. If the present model is Y, the probabilities of switching to X and Z are 0.6 and 0.25 respectively. And if present model is Z then, the probabilities of switching to X and Y are 0.5 and 0.1 respectively. Represent the situation as a Markov chain

A Southwest Energy Company pipeline has 3 safety shutoff valves in case the line springs a leak. These valves are designed to operate independently of one another. There is only a 7% chance that valve 1 will fail at any one time, a 10% failure chance for valve 2, and a 5% failure chance for valve 3. If there is a leak, find the following probabilities: that all 3 valves operate correctly.
A students is going to graduate from a business department of a university by the end of the semester. After being interviewed at two companies he likes, he assesses that his probability of getting an offer from company A is 0.7, and his probability of getting an offer from company B is 0.55. If he believes that the probability that he will get offers from both companies is 0.38, what is the probability that he will get at least one offer from these two companies?
The weather in Columbus is either good, indifferent, or bad on any given day. If the weather is good today, there is a 60% chance the weather will be good tomorrow, a 30% chance the weather will be indifferent, and a 10% chance the weather will be bad. If the weather is indifferent today, it will be good tomorrow with probability .40 and indifferent with probability .30. Finally, if the weather is bad today, it will be good tomorrow with probability .40 and indifferent with probability .50. a. What is the stochastic matrix for this situation? b. Suppose there is a 50% chance of good weather today and a 50% chance of indifferent weather. What are the chances of bad weather tomorrow? c. Suppose the predicted weather for Monday is 40% indifferent weather and 60% bad weather. What are the chances for good weather on Wednesday?
A machine has four components a,b,c,d set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. assume the probability of one part does not depend on the functioning of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual part working are p(a) =p(b)=0.98, p(c)= 0.91, and p(d)=0.93 find the probability that the machine works properly round to the nearest ten- thousandth
There are three kinds of vegetation in an ecosystem: grass (G), shrubs (S), and trees (T) (Bodine, Lenhart, and Gross 2014). Every year, 25% of grassland plots are converted to shrubs, 20% of shrub plots are converted to trees, 8% of trees are converted to shrubs, and 1% of trees are converted to grass; the other transition probabilities are 0. Calculate the probability of a plot of land have the following succession of vegetation from year to year: GSGG, taking the first state as given. (type three digits after the decimal).
A store specializing in mountain bikes is to open in one of two malls. If the first mall is selected, the store anticipates a yearly profit of $1,425,000 if successful and a yearly loss of $475,000 otherwise. The probability of success is 1. If the second mall is selected, it is estimated that the yearly profit will be $950,000 if successful; 3 otherwise, the annual loss will be $285,000. The probability of success at the second mall is Complete parts (a) through (c) below 4 - a. What is the expected profit for the first mall?

Becky and Carla take an advanced yoga class. Becky can hold 29% of her poses for over a minute, while Carla can hold 35% of her poses for over a minute. Suppose each yoga student is asked to hold 50 poses. Let B the proportion of poses Becky can hold for over a minute and C = the proportion of poses Carla can hold for over a minute. What is the probability that Becky's proportion of poses held for over a minute is greater than Carla's? Find the z-table here.

In a certain community, eight percent of all adults over age 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly diagnosis 95% of all persons with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses ten percent of all persons without diabetes as having the disease, find the probabilities that: The health service will diagnose an adult over age 50 as having diabetes. A person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.
A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.95, P(C) = 0.91, and P(D) = 0.96. Find the probability that at least one of the four parts will work. Round to six decimal places.

At the beginning of each day, a patient in the hospital is classifed into one of the three conditions: good, fair or critical. At the beginning of the next day, the patient will either still be in the hospital and be in good, fair or critical condition or will be discharged in one of three conditions: improved, unimproved, or dead. The transistion probabilities for this situation are Good Fair Critical Good 0.65 0.20 0.05 Fair 0.50 0.30 0.12 Critical 0.51 0.25 0.20 Improved Unimproved Dead Good 0.06 0.03 0.01 Fair 0.03 0.02 0.03 Critical 0.01 0.01 0.02 For example a patient who begins the day in fair condition has a 12% chance of being in critical condition the next day and a 3%…
