An organization has N employees where N is a large number. Each employee has one of three possible job classifications and changes the classification (independently) according to the Markov chain with the following probability of transition (enclosed). What is the percentage of employees in each classification?

Scenario: Researchers were interested in how social situations can influence stress-induced eating. They grouped participants according to self-reported stress-induced eating habits: con-sistently eating more (hyperphagics) or eating less (hypophagics) when stressed. Each partici-pant was then exposed to one of three social situations: (1) a social inclusion condition, where subjects were told that a confederate partner had approved of a video they had made answering some questions and was looking forward to meeting them, (2) a neutral condition, where they were told their partners could not meet them because their partners had to cancel their participa-tion, or (3) a social exclusion condition, where they were told that their partner had decided not to meet them after viewing their video. Subjects were then given an ice cream taste test and the amount of ice cream consumed was measured. Question: Which of the following best describes the scenario? Group of answer choices…
A machine can be in one of four states: ‘running smoothly’ (state 1), ‘running but needs adjustment’ (state 2), ‘temporarily broken’ (state 3), and ‘destroyed’ (state 4). Each morning the state of the machine is recorded. Suppose that the state of the machine tomorrow morning depends only on the state of the machine this morning subject to the following rules. If the machine is running smoothly, there is 1% chance that by the next morning it will have exploded (this will destroy the machine), there is also a 9% chance that some part of the machine will break leading to it being temporarily broken. If neither of these things happen then the next morning there is an equal probability of it running smoothly or running but needing adjustment. If the machine is temporarily broken in the morning then an engineer will attempt to repair the machine that day, there is an equal chance that they succeed and the machine is running smoothly by the next day or they fail and cause the machine to…

(2) What is the probability that a randomly selected car either is a Mercedes or has a CD player?
A car rental company has two locations. Each week, 80% of the cars rented at location A are returned to location A and the rest location B. Of the cars rented at location B, 30% are returned to location B by the end of the week and the rest to location A. a. Make a transition diagram for this process. b. Write the transition matrix T for this process. cIf 50% of the company's cars start this week at location A, and 50% at location B, find the proportion of cars that will be at each location one week later Label your answers. d. Write and solve a system of equations to find the stable distribution (correct to 3 decimal places) for this Markov process. Show all calculations and label the row operations.

One of the company’s policyholders has just made a claim(ii) Calculate the probability that the policy holder is younger than 22 years.
A television campaign is conducted during the football season to promote a well-known brand X shaving cream. For each of several weeks, a survey is made, and it is found that each week, 60% of those using brand X continue to use it and 40% switch to another brand. It is also found that of those not using brand X, 40% switch to brand X while the other 60% continue using another brand. (A) Draw a transition diagram. (B) Write the transition matrix. (C) If 30% of the people are using brand X at the start of the advertising campaign, what percentage will be using it 1 week later? 2 weeks later? (A) Draw the transition diagram.
