• General notation for Markov chains: P(A) is the probability of the event A when the Markov chain starts in state x, Pμ(A) the probability when the initial state is random with distribution μ. Ty = min{n ≥ 1: X₂ = y} is the first time after 0 that the chain visits state y. Px,y = Px(Ty < ∞) . Ny is the number of visits to state y after time 0. 4.

A factory worker will quit with probability 1/2 during her first month, with probability 1/4 during her second month and with probability 1/8 after that. Whenever someone quits, their replacement will start at the beginning of the next month. Model the status of each position as a Markov chain with 3 states. Identify the states and transition matrix. Write down the system of equations determining the long-run proportions. Suppose there are 900 workers in the factory. Find the average number of the workers who have been there for more than 2 months.

Determine whether the statement below is true or false. Justify the answer. If (x) is a Markov chain, then X₁+1 must depend only on the transition matrix and xn- Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is false because x, depends on X₁+1 and the transition matrix. B. The statement is true because it is part of the definition of a Markov chain. C. The statement is false because X₁ +1 can also depend on X-1 D. The statement is false because X₁ + 1 can also depend on any previous entry in the chain.
