### Transition Diagram for State Migration

Below is a transition diagram representing the migration patterns within a country where people live in four possible states: A, B, C, and D. The flows into and out of each state are illustrated using arrows with associated probabilities. Use this diagram to understand how individuals transition between states over time.

#### Transition Diagram:

- **States:**
  - **A**
  - **B**
  - **C**
  - **D**

- **Transition Probabilities:**
  - From A to B: 0.55
  - From A to D: 0.45
  - From B to A: 0.35
  - From B to D: 0.65
  - From D to A: 0.50
  - From D to B: 1.0
  - From D to C: 0.4
  - From C to D: 0.65

#### Diagram Explanation:

- **State A** transitions:
  - 55% to State B
  - 45% to State D

- **State B** transitions:
  - 35% to State A
  - 65% to State D

- **State C** transitions:
  - 65% to State D

- **State D** transitions:
  - 50% to State A
  - 100% to State B
  - 40% to State C

#### Example Problem:

Start by writing migration equations for these four states. Use these to construct a Markov Chain representation in the form \(\mathbf{x}_{k+1} = M \mathbf{x}_k\).

This diagram is a powerful tool for visualizing and analyzing how populations shift between different states over time using probabilities.
