Q2) In a language school, the path of a student's language level has been modeled as a Markov Chain with the following transition probabilities from the lowest level (Beginner) through the highest level (Advanced): Beginner Elementary Intermediate English Upper-Intermediate Quit Advanced Beginner Elementary Intermediate English Upper-Intermediate 0.4 0.1 0.05 0.45 0.1 0.5 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.2 0.2 Quit 1 Advanced Each student's state is observed at the beginning of each semester. For instance; if a student's language level is elementary at the beginning of the semester, there is an 30% chance that she will progress to intermediate level at the beginning of next semester, a 50% chance that she will still be in the elementary level, a 10% chance that she will regress to beginner level and 10% chance that she will quit the language school. Find the probability that a student with beginner level will eventually have an advanced level. Assume beginner level is state 1,…

At Suburban Community College, 40% of all business majors switched to another major the next semester, while the remaining 60% continued as business majors. Of all non-business majors, 20% switched to a business major the following semester, while the rest did not. Set up these data as a Markov transition matrix. (Let 1 = business majors, and 2 = non-business majors.) calculate the probability that a business major will no longer be a business major in two semesters' time.

A Markov chain has two states. • If the chain is in state 1 on a given observation, then it is three times as likely to be in state 1 as to be in state 2 on the next observation. If the chain is in state 2 on a given observation, then it is twice as likely to be in state 1 as to be in state 2 on the next observation. Which of the following represents the correct transition matrix for this Markov chain? О [3/4 2/3 1/4 1/3 O [2/3 1/3 3/4 1/4) о [3/4 2/3 1/3] None of the others are correct 3/4 O [1/4 1/3 2/3.

Suppose it is known that in the city of Golden the weather is either "good" or "bad". If the weather is good on any given day, there is a 2/3 chance it will be good the next day. If the weather is bad on any given day, there is a 1/2 chance it will be bad the next day. a) Find the stochastic matrix P for this Markov chain. b) Given that on Saturday there is a 100% chance of good weather in Golden, use the stochastic matrix from part (a) to find the probability that the weather on Monday will be good. The initial state xo = c) Over the long run, what is the probability that the weather in Golden is good?
