The daily amorous status of students at a major technological university has beenobserved on a daily basis (based on their facebook-status). It has been concluded, thatthe love dynamics follow the Markov chain depicted in the graph in Figure 1. How likelyis it that a student single at a given day is in a relationship three days later?0.95 Single0.50.050.5It'scomFtedIn arelation-ship0.20.8

An individual can contract a particular disease with probability 0.17. A sick person will recover dur- ing any particular time period with probability 0.44 (in which case they will be considered healthy at the beginning of the next time period). Assume that people do not develop resistance, so that pre- vious sickness does not influence the chances of contracting the disease again. Model as a Markov chain, give transition matrix on your paper. Find the probability that a healthy individual will be sick after two time periods.

A continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) has three states (1, 2, 3}. The average time the process stays in states 1, 2, and 3 are 2.1, 13.6, and 3.5 seconds, respectively. The steady-state probability that this CTMC is in the second state ( TT, ) is
The permanent residence of adults aged 18-25 in the U.S. was examined in a survey from the year 2000. The survey revealed that 27% of these adults lived alone, 32% lived with a roommate(s), and 41% lived with their parents/guardians. In 2008, during an economic recession in the country, another such survey of 1600 people revealed that 398 lived alone, 488 lived with a roommate(s), and 714 lived with their parents. Is there a significant difference in where young adults lived in 2000 versus 2008 and state the p-value? Test with a Goodness of Fit test at α=0.05.
