An individual can contract a particular disease with probability 0.17. A sick person will recover dur- ing any particular time period with probability 0.44 (in which case they will be considered healthy at the beginning of the next time period). Assume that people do not develop resistance, so that pre- vious sickness does not influence the chances of contracting the disease again. Model as a Markov chain, give transition matrix on your paper. Find the probability that a healthy individual will be sick after two time periods.

Please find the transition matrix for this Markov process
Determine whether the Markov chain with matrix of transition probabilities P is absorbing. Explain.
(Transition Probabilities)must be about Markov Chain. Any year on a planet in the Sirius star system is either economic growth or recession (constriction). If there is growth for one year, there is 70% probability of growth in the next year, 10% probability recession is happening. If there is a recession one year, there is a 30% probability of growth and a 60% probability of recession the next year. (a) If recession is known in 2263, find the probability of growth in 2265. (b) What is the probability of a recession on the planet in the year Captain Kirk and his crew first visited the planet? explain it to someone who does not know anything about the subject
A study of armed robbers yielded the approximate transition probability matrix shown below. The matrix gives the probability that a robber currents free, on probation, or in jail would, over a period of a year, make a transition to one of the states. То From Free Probation Jail Free 0.7 0.2 0.1 Probation 0.3 0.5 0.2 Jail 0.0 0.1 0.9 Assuming that transitions are recorded at the end of each one-year period: i) For a robber who is now free, what is the expected number of years before going to jail? ii) What proportion of time can a robber expect to spend in jail? [Note: You may consider maximum four transitions as equivalent to that of steady state if you like.]
(8) Every year, each employee at a large company must select one of two healthcare plans. It is expected that 15% of the employees currently using plan A will switch to plan B and that 25% of the employees currently using plan B will switch to plan A. Out of the company's 1000 employees, 450 are currently enrolled in plan A. (a) Use a stochastic matrix to predict how many employees will be enrolled in each plan next year. (b) Use a stochastic matrix to predict how many employees will be enrolled in each plan in five years.
If she made the last free throw, then her probability of making the next one is 0.7. On the other hand, If she missed the last free throw, then her probability of making the next one is 0.2. Assume that state 1 is Makes the Free Throw and that state 2 is Misses the Free Throw. (1) Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. %3D
