60. The following is the transition probability matrix of a Markov chain with states 1, 2, 3, 4 P= .4 .2 .25 .2 .3 .2 .1 .2 .2 .4 25 50 .1 .4 .3 If Xo = 1 (a) find the probability that state 3 is entered before state 4; (b) find the mean number of transitions until either state 3 or state 4 is entered.
A Markov chain has two states. • If the chain is in state 1 on a given observation, then it is three times as likely to be in state 1 as to be in state 2 on the next observation. If the chain is in state 2 on a given observation, then it is twice as likely to be in state 1 as to be in state 2 on the next observation. Which of the following represents the correct transition matrix for this Markov chain? О [3/4 2/3 1/4 1/3 O [2/3 1/3 3/4 1/4) о [3/4 2/3 1/3] None of the others are correct 3/4 O [1/4 1/3 2/3.

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?
