• General notation for Markov chains: P(A) is the probability of the event A when the Markov chain starts in state x, Pμ(A) the probability when the initial state is random with distribution μ. Ty = min{n ≥ 1 : X₂ = y} is the first time after 0 that the chain visits state y. Px,y = Px(Ty < ∞) . Ny is the number of visits to state y after time 0. 2. A bank classifies loans as paid in full(F), in good standing (G), in arrears (A), or as a bad debt (B). Loans move between the categories according to the transition matrix: P = F G A B F 1 0 0 0 G .1 .8 .1 0 A .1 .4 .4 .1 B 0 0 0 1 What fraction of loans in good standing are eventually paid in full? (That is, starting at state G, what is the probability that the chain eventually visits F?)

Each year an auto insurance company classifies its customers into three categories: Poor, Satisfactory, and Good. No one moves from poor to good or from good to poor in one year.

Determine whether the statement below is true or false. Justify the answer. If (x) is a Markov chain, then X₁+1 must depend only on the transition matrix and xn- Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is false because x, depends on X₁+1 and the transition matrix. B. The statement is true because it is part of the definition of a Markov chain. C. The statement is false because X₁ +1 can also depend on X-1 D. The statement is false because X₁ + 1 can also depend on any previous entry in the chain.
