Central topic markov chains: Every summer the Yates de los Lagos owners association decides if its annual regatta will be held in June, July or August. If it takes place in June, the probability of good weather is ¾; and if these conditions exist, the regatta of the next year it will be done in June with probability 2/3, in July with probability 1/6 or in August with probability 1/6; but if there is bad weather, next year's regatta will take place in July or August with equal probabilities. If the competition is held in July, good and bad weather have equal probabilities; if there is good weather, the next year's regatta will be held in July; If there is bad weather, the next regatta will take place in August with probability of 2/3 or in June with probability of 1/3. If the regatta takes place in August, the probability of good weather is 2/5; and if there are good conditions atmospheric conditions, next year's regatta will take place in July or August, with equal probabilities; but…

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.)
ne bets $1. 0.45, he wins the game and with probability 1 - p = 0.55, he loses the game. His goal is to increase his capital to $3, and as soon as he does, the game is over. The game is also over if his capital is reduced to zero. Construct an absorbing Markov chain and answer the following questions. • What is the expected duration of the game? • What is the probability that he goes broke?
