Chapter 10.3, Problem 32E
Tennis Consider a game of tennis when each player has won at least two serves. After that, the first player to win two serves more than his opponent wins. There are live possibilities: Either the players are tied (deuce), the server is a point ahead (ad in ), the other player is a point ahead (ad out), the server wins, or the server loses. If we assume that at each serve the server has a probability p of winning the next point, then the game can be modeled by a Markov chain. Source: The Mathematics Teacher.
(a) Verify that the transition matrix from the server's point of view is given by
(b) For the case in which p = 0.6 find the probability that the server will win when the score is ad out, deuce, and ad in.

(a) Estimate the factor effects. Plot the effect estimates on a normal probability scale.
(b) Identify a tentative model for this process. Fit the model and test for curvature.
(c) Plot the residuals from the model in part (b) versus the predicted resistivity. Is there any indication on
this plot of model inadequacy?
(d) Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals. Is there any reason to doubt the validity of the
normality assumption?
1. Check to see if the matrix below is
(a) symmetric
(b) skew-symmetric
(c) orthogonal
You need to check all three cases.
2. Compute the eigenvalues and verify that they satisfy the required properties for such
matrix. (For example, if the matrix is symmetric, then the eigenvalues satisfy certain
property. Likewise, if a matrix is skew-symmetric or if it is orthogonal.)
