A study of armed robbers yielded the approximate transition probability matrix shown below. The matrix gives the probability that a robber currents free, on probation, or in jail would, over a period of a year, make a transition to one of the states. То From Free Probation Jail Free 0.7 0.2 0.1 Probation 0.3 0.5 0.2 Jail 0.0 0.1 0.9 Assuming that transitions are recorded at the end of each one-year period: i) For a robber who is now free, what is the expected number of years before going to jail? ii) What proportion of time can a robber expect to spend in jail? [Note: You may consider maximum four transitions as equivalent to that of steady state if you like.]

the map below shows a one-way subway system starting from station 1. A passenger can go from each station to others with equal probability. so a passenger from station 1 can go any other station with probability of 1/4 since there are 14 remaining stationss. a passenger from station 11 can go to any of the remaining stations (12-15) with probability 1/4. what is the probability transition matrix?
