To go to the math department, a student takes the 49 bus, then the 68, or can decide for each busride to bike instead. At the end of the day, the student makes four trips (two to get to UBC, andtwo to get home using the same route), and decides to plan their next day by picking one of thetrips uniformly at random, and use the alternative way of transport (if it was a bus ride, then thestudent will bike and vice versa). Let X₁, be the number of bus rides made on day n.a. Draw the transition diagram associated with this process.b. Show that the distribution = (1,4, 6, 4, 1) is stationary, and that the process is reversible.What distribution do you recognize here?c. Suppose each bus trip takes 20 minutes and a bike trip 24. In the long run, how much timedoes the student spend on average to get from home to UBC? (justify your answer)d. The student decides to modify their strategy: if all the trips were made using the same mode oftransport, the student takes the bus to UBC and bikes home on the next day. Let Y,, be the numberof bus rides made during the n-th day for the modified process. Draw the transition diagram.e. We assume that a = (1,4,8, 4, 1) is stationary for Y₁. Is the process reversible? Justify.

For his Carnival project, Chester designed a game where players pick a random marble from a bag. In the bag there are 2 pink marbles, 10 green marbles, and 8 white marbles. If players draw a pink marble they get a large candy bar prize, if they draw a green marble they get a small lollipop prize, and if they draw a white marble they get a fist bump. Chester purchased a set of 16 candy bars for $12 and a bag of 200 lollipops for $20. Answer the following questions: What is Chester's expected cost per game? $ If Chester plans for 40 people to play his game, How many candy bars should he expect to give out? How many lollipops should he expect to give out?

Mr. Smith decides to organize a potluck party with neighbors on a weekend. John Smith and his wife Mary Smith and his daughter Judy Smith will prepare three different salad dishes. John's right side neighbor Jenny Jones and Bob Jones will prepare two desserts. John's left side neighbor Linda will prepare one meat dish. John's cross street neighbor Sue will prepare soup. John wants to figure out how many different ways for him to taste all dishes in order (assuming he will taste all salads, meat, desserts and soup). (Note : For example, "Salad, Soup, Salad, Meat, Dessert, Salad, Dessert" is one of the possible order he can try.
4 boys Peter, Andrew, Mark and Billy build model cars from parts that are red, blue, green and yellow. The cars have tyres , radios, boots and bonnets. Each car contains 4 pairs, and each part is a different color. There is only one part of each color and no car contains any two parts that are the same color. Andrew's tyres are the same color as Peter's radio and Mark's bonnet. Andrew's boot is yellow. Mark's radio is the same color as Peter's boot and Andrew's bonnet. Peter's tyres and Billy's bonnet are red. Mark's radio is green. Who has a car with a blue radio? Who has a car with a green tyres? Who has a car with a yellow bonnet? What color are Mark's tyres? What color is Peter's bonnet? What color is Billy's radio?
jared is opening several ice cream stores. The walls of the stores can be yellow or blue. He wants to determine if the color of the walls affects how much ice cream people eat.

He assigns the other half to a room with blue walls and lets them eat as much vanilla ice cream as they want for two hours. Jared records the total amount of ice cream eaten in each room.Which would be an appropriate statistical model for Jared to use in order to determine if the color of the wall affects how much ice cream his customer will eat?
