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
Question 1.16.2 (Markov chains, Part IB, 1991, 307D) Three girls A, B and C are playing table tennis. In each game, two of the girls play against each other and the third girl does not play. The winner of any given game n plays again in game n + 1. The probability that girl x will beat girl y in any game that they play against each other is sx/(Sx+Sy) for x, y = {A,B,C}, x‡y, where sa, SB, SC represent the playing strengths of the three girls. In what proportion of games does each girl play, in the long run?

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?

The following data consists of a matrix of transition probabilities (P) of three competing companies, the initial market share state ℼ(1), and the equilibrium probability states. Assume that each state represents a firm (Company 1, Company 2, and Company 3, respectively) and the transition probabilities represent changes from one month to the next. The market share of Company 2 after two periods is a. 0.283 b. 0.26 c. 0.261 d. 0.47
The purchase patterns for two brands of toothpaste can be expressed as a Markov process with the following transition probabilities. To From Special B MDA Special B 0.90 0.10 MDA 0.02 0.98 (a)Which brand appears to have the most loyal customers? Explain. MDA has the most loyal customers because ( ) %? stay with them and only ( ) %? switch to the other brand, as opposed to Special B where only ( )%? stay with them and ( )%? switch. (b) What are the projected market shares for the two brands? (Enter exact numbers as integers, fractions, or decimals.) Special B?1=? MDA?2=?

Can someone please help me with this question. I am having so much trouble.
In an office complex of 1000 employees, on any given day some are at work and the rest are absent. It is known that if an employee is at work today, there is an 85% chance that she will be at work tomorrow, and if the employee is absent today, there is a 70% chance that she will be absent tomorrow. Suppose that today there are 740 employees at work. (A graphing calculator is recommended.) (a) Find the transition matrix A for this scenario. at work absent A = (b) Predict the number that will be at work five days from now. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) employees (c) Find the steady-state vector x. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Shakira's concerts behave like a Markov chain. If the current concert gets cancelled, then there is an 90% chance that the next concert will be cancelled also. However, if the current concert does not get cancelled, then there is only a 50% chance that the next concert will be cancelled. What is the long-run probability that a concert will not be cancelled? a. 1/4 b. 1/10 c. 1/6 d. 1/2 e. 5/6 f. None of the others are correct
