We will use Markov chain to model weather XYZ city. According to the city’s meteorologist, every day in XYZ is either sunny, cloudy or rainy. The meteorologist have informed us that the city never has two consecutive sunny days. If it is sunny one day, then it is equally likely to be either cloudy or rainy the next day. If it is rainy or cloudy one day, then there is one chance in two that it will be the same the next possibilities. In the long run, what proportion of days are cloudy, sunny and rainy? Show the transition matrix.
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. Write down the system of equations determining the long-run proportions. Suppose there are 900 workers in the factory. Find the average number of the workers who have been there for more than 2 months.
In airline applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.039 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. (a) What is the probability that the system does not fail? (b) Engineers decide to the probability of failure is too high for this system. Use trial and error to determine the minimum number of components that should be included in the system to result in system that has greater than a 0.99999999 probability of not failing. (a) The probability is (Round to eight decimal places as needed.)
