frog is in a pond with 5 water lilies numbered from 1 to 5. With exponential rate 1, the frog leaves its current water lily, chooses a new one uniformly among the four others and jumps to it. We assume the frog starts from lily 1. Let X(t) be the number of the lily where the frog is at time t. a. Admitting that X(t) is a

Please do the following question with handwritten working out
Find the limiting distribution for this Markov chain. Then give an interpretation of what the first entry of the distribution you found tells you based on the definition of a limiting distribution. Your answer should be written for a non-mathematician and should consist of between 1 and 3 complete sentences without mathematical symbols or terminology.
Please answer with all the steps explained. I have to learn it for the exams.
