A poker player has either good luck or bad luck each time she plays poker. She notices that if she has good luck one time, then she has good luck the next time with probability 0.2 and if she has bad luck one time, then she has good luck the next time with probability 0.4. What fraction of the time in the long run does the poker player have good luck?
A certain style of shoes made by a company comes in blue, red, black, and white. From experience, the company knows the blue shoes are the most popular with 33% of the sales. This is followed by the red and black shoes respectively with sales of 26% and 25% for this style of shoes. The probability is ____________________ that for 10 randomly selected orders that 3 would be for the blue shoes, 2 for the red shoes, 1 for the black shoes, and the remaining orders for the white shoes.

Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
