Draw the transition probability graph and construct the transition probability matrix of the
following problems.
Pliskin and Tell (1981). Patients suffering from kidney failure can either get a transplant or
undergo periodic dialysis. During any 1 year, 30% undergo cadaveric transplants, and 10%
receive living-donor kidneys. In the year following a transplant, 30% of those who undergo the
cadaveric transplants and 15% of living-donor recipients go back to dialysis. Death percentages
among the two groups are 20% and 10%, respectively. Of those in the dialysis pool, 10% die,
and of those who survive more than 1 year after a transplant, 5% die and 5% go back to dialysis.
If the probability vector is [0.6 0.4 ] and the transition matrix is (0.5 0.5)
(0.9 0.1), find the resulting 18th probability vector.

- Draw the transition probability graph and construct the transition probability matrix of the following problems. 2. A police car is on patrol in a neighborhood known for its gang activities. During a patrol, there is a 60% chance of responding in time to the location where help is needed; else regular patrol will continue. chance for cancellation (upon receiving a call, there is a 10% in which case normal patrol is resumed) and a 30% chance that the car is already responding to a previous call. When the police car arrives at the scene, there is a 10% chance that the instigators will have fled (in which case the car returns back to patrol) and a 40% chance that apprehension is made immediately. Else, the officers will search the area. If apprehension occurs, there is a 60% chance of transporting the suspects to the police station; else they are released and the car returns to patrol.arrow_forwardTo generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planning seminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida. Gustin conducts seminars for groups of 25 individuals. Each seminar costs Gustin $3,400, and the commission for each new account opened is $4,900. Gustin estimates that for each individual attending the seminar, there is a 0.01 probability that he/she will open a new account. (a) Determine the equation for computing Gustin's profit per seminar, given static values of the relevant parameters. Profit = (New Accounts Opened x (b) What type of random variable is the number of new accounts opened? (Hint: Review Appendix 11.1 for descriptions of various types of probability distributions.) O uniform random variable O poisson random variable O hypergeometric random variable O binomial random variable O normal random variable (c) Construct a simulation model to analyze the profitability of Gustin's seminars. Would you recommend that Gustin continue…arrow_forward1. For determining the monthly premiums of their customers, an automobile insurance company classifies drivers into 3 classes: Good drivers (G), medium-level drivers (M) and bad drivers (B). The percentage of drivers in each class is as follows: Class G: 25%, Class M: 60%, Class B: 15%. The probabilities that a driver in each of these classes will have an accident in one year are given as follows: For Class G = 0.005, for Class M= 0.025, for Class B=0.035 a) What is the probability that a driver has an accident within the first year? b) A driver purchasing an insurance policy has an accident within the first year. What is the probability that he/she was classified as a good driver (in Class G)?arrow_forward
- In this question you will find the steady-state probability distribution for the regular transistion matrix below with 3 states A, B, and C. A C 0.0 0.5 0.5 A В 0.2 0.4 0.4 0.25 0.5 0.25 Give the following answers as fractions OR as decimals correct to at least 5 decimal places. What is the long term probability of being in state A? What is the long term probability of being in state B? What is the long term probability of being in state C?arrow_forwardA customer always eats lunch either at restaurant A or restaurant B. • The customer never eats at A two days in a row. • If the customer eats at B one day, then the next day she is three times as likely to eat at B as at A. First, we construct the probability transition matrix for the problem. -80 [ = Initially, the customer is equally likely to eat at either restaurant, so Xo 12 -[1] =arrow_forwardSuppose that Phone A has a 20% market share initially, with Phone B having an 80% market share. The transition matrix to the right represents customers who currently own phones A and B and the probability that they will upgrade to a new phone A or B. Use this transition matrix to find the share for each phone after the following upgrades. A B A 0.8 0.2 B 0.25 0.75 (a) First upgrade (b) Second upgrade (c) Third upgrade (a) With the first upgrade, Phone A has % of the market and Phone B has % of the market.
