In Exercises 1–3, find the fundamental matrix of the Markov chain with the given transition matrix. Assume that the state space in each case is {1, 2, …, n}. If reordering of states is necessary, list the order in which the states have been reordered.

- Explain how you can determine the steady state matrix X of an absorbing Markov chain by inspection.arrow_forward12. Robots have been programmed to traverse the maze shown in Figure 3.28 and at each junction randomly choose which way to go. Figure 3.28 (a) Construct the transition matrix for the Markov chain that models this situation. (b) Suppose we start with 15 robots at each junction. Find the steady state distribution of robots. (Assume that it takes each robot the same amount of time to travel between two adjacent junctions.)arrow_forwardPls solve for Part b and make sure it's correctarrow_forward
- 8.arrow_forwardPart barrow_forwardLet us have the experience of a mouse falling into a trap inside a 6-room building, as shown in the figure below. If the room contains k doors, the probability that the mouse will choose one of these doors is 1/k if the mouse reaches room F that contains the food or room S that contains the trap. It will stay there and the experiment ends, the transition matrix is M= [0.5 0 0.5 0 0.3 0 0 ¹0.5 0 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.5 0 000 O a O b О с 2 000 0.5 0 0.5 0 0 0 0 0.3 0 0.5 0 0.5 M = - 0 0.5 0.5 b 3 ..+. 4 5 0 0 S M= 0 0 0 1 0 0.5 0 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0.3 0.3 0 0 0.3 0 0.5 0 0 0.5 0 0 1 00000 10 0 000 0.5 0 0 0.5 0 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 000 0 0 0 0 C 0 0 0.3 0.5 1 (a)arrow_forward
