11. A certain mobile phone app is becoming popular in a large population. Every week 10% of those who are not using the app, either because they don't have it yet or have it but are not using it, start using it, and 15% of those who are using it stop using it. Assume that the starting percentages are that 80% are not using it and 20% are using it. (a) Show the Markov matrix A representing the situation. (Letting .80 represent the starting 1.20 .80 percentages, remember that you want the situation after one week to be given by A .) .20 (b) What percentage will be using the app after two weeks? (c) Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. (d) Show a matrix X which diagonalizes A by means of X-'AX. (d) In the long run the percentages not using the app will be Show your work. _% and using it will be _%
find the vector of stable probabilities for the Markov chain whose transition matrix is .1 .4 .5 .6 .1 .3 .5 .1 .4
Aileen, a Scottish spy, has three fake identities that she uses to get information. The process is really quite involved, but she uses a Markov chain process to make it more difficult for her Irish adversaries to track her: "Hope" (state 1), "Trixie"(state 2), and "Fiona" (state 3). The transition matrix is .5 .5 P = .2 .2 .6 .4 .1 .5 On the first observation, Aileen used "Trixie" as her identity. Which of the three fake identities is she most likely to have used on the third observation? O Hope and Fiona are equally likely O Hope and Trixie are equally likely Fiona О Норе O None of the others are correct O Trixie
A certain television show airs weekly. Each time it airs, its ratings are categorized as "high," "average," or "low," and transitions between these categorizations each week behave like a Markov chain. If the ratings are high this week, they will be high, average, or low next week with probabilities 40%, 10%, and 50% respectively. If the ratings are average this week, they will be high, average, or low next week with probabilities 60%, 20%, and 20% respectively. If the ratings are low this week, they will be high, average, or low next week with probabilities 70%, 20%, and 10% respectively. Write all answers as integers or decimals. If the ratings are average this week, what is the probability that they will be low two weeks from now? If the ratings are average the first week, what is the probability that they will be low the second week? If the ratings are low the first week, what is the probability that they will be high the third week?
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.
We will use Markov chain to model weather XYZ city. According to the city’s meteorologist, every day in XYZ is either sunny, cloudy or rainy. The meteorologist have informed us that the city never has two consecutive sunny days. If it is sunny one day, then it is equally likely to be either cloudy or rainy the next day. If it is rainy or cloudy one day, then there is one chance in two that it will be the same the next possibilities. In the long run, what proportion of days are cloudy, sunny and rainy? Show the transition matrix.
A bus containing 100 gamblers arrives in Las Vegas on a Monday morning. The gamblers play only poker or blackjack, and never change games during the day. The gamblers' daily choice of game can be modeled by a Markov chain: 95% of the gamblers playing poker today will play poker tomorrow, and 80% of the gamblers playing blackjack today will play blackjack tomorrow. (a) Write down the stochastic (Markov) matrix corresponding to this Markov chain. (b) If 60 gamblers play poker on Monday, how many gamblers play blackjack on Tuesday? (c) Find the unique steady-state vector for the Markov matrix in part (a).
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?
A study conducted by the Urban Energy Commission in a large metropolitan area indicates the probabilities that homeowners within the area will use certain heating fuels or solar energy during the next 10 years as the major source of heat for their homes. The following transition matrix represents the transition probabilities from one state to another. Electricity 10.2 Natural Gas Fuel Oil Solar Energy Elec. Gas Oil 0.60 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.85 0.10 0.08 Solar 0 0.10 0.02 0.75 0.08 0.15 0.08 0.05 0.84 Among homeowners within the area, 20% currently use electricity, 35% use natural gas, 40% use oil, and 5% use solar energy as the major source of heat for their homes. In the long run, percentage of homeowners within the area will be using solar energy as their major source of heating fuel? (Round your answer to one decimal place. Assume the trend continues.)

In any given day the air quality in a certain city is either good or bad. Records show that when the air quality is good on one day, then there is a 95% chance that it will be good the next day, and when the air quality is bad on one day, then there is 45% chance it will be bad the next day. a. Give the transition matrix. b. if the air quality is good today, what is the probability it will be good two days from now? c. if the air quality is bad today, what is the probability it will be bad three days from now? d. if the there is 20% chance the air quality is good today, what is the probability it will be good tomorrow?
In a hotel, each employee is in one of three possible job classifications, and changes that classifications (independently) according to a Markov chain with transition probabilities. What percentage of employees are in each classification?
A Markov chain model for a species has four states: State 0 (Lower Risk), State 1 (Vulnerable), State 2 (Threatened), and State 3 (Extinct). For t 2 0, you are given that: 01 zit = 0.03 12 t= 0.05 23 Hit = 0.06 This species is currently in state 0. Calculate the probability this species will be in state 2 ten years later.
