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 3 after three periods is a. 0.259 b. 0.261 c. 0.283 d. 0.296
Consider the Markov chain specified by the following transition diagram. a. Find the steady-state probabilities of all states. 0.4 b. If the initial state is 7, what is the expected 0.3 0.4 0.2 number of steps to reach state 1 or 3? 0.8 0.2 c.

Solve bout the volume of securities sold by a brokerage firm, using the following data:
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?

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
A Markov chain has the transition matrix shown below: 0.2 0.1 0.7] P = 0.6 0.4 1 (Note: For questions 1, 3, and 5, express your answers as decimal fractions rounded to 4 decimal places (if they have more than 4 decimal places).) (1) If, on the first observation the system is in state 1, what is the probability that it is in state 1 on the next observation? (2) If, on the first observation the system is in state 1, what state is the system most likely to occupy on the next observation? (If there is more than one such state, which is the first one.) (3) If, on the first observation, the system is in state 1, what is the probability that the system is in state 1 on the third observation? ...

3. (a) A Markov process with 2 states is used to model the weather in a certain town. State 1 corresponds to a suny day. State 2 corresponds to a rainy day. The transition matrix for this Markov process is [0.7 0.4] 0.3 0.6 %3D (i) If today is rainy, what is the probability that tomorrow will be sunny? (ii) Find the steady state probability vector. (iii) In the long run, how many days a week are sunny?
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?
