Chapter 8.1, Problem 29E
Political Views According to the Higher Education Research Institute, 33% of students at baccalaureate-granting colleges who entered college in 2015 characterize their political views as Liberal, 45% as Middle-of-the-road, and 22% as Conservative. Suppose that, each year, these students changed their political views as described by the following matrix. (Source: The American Freshman: National Norms Fall 2015.)
a. What percentage of the students who held conservative political views as freshmen held middle-of-the-road views as sophomores?
b. Explain the meaning of the .96 appearing in the center of the matrix.
c. Draw the transition diagram for this Markov process.
d. What percentage of the students held middle-of-the-road political views as sophomores? As juniors?

Suppose you are conducting a study about how the average US worker spends time over the course of a workday. You are interested in how much time workers spend per day on personal calls, emails, and social networking websites, as well as how much time they spend socializing with coworkers versus actually working.
The most recent census provides data for the entire population of US workers on variables such as travel time to work, time spent at work, and break time at work. The census, however, does not include data on the variables you are interested in, so you obtain a random sample of 102 full-time workers in the United States and ask about personal calls, emails, and so forth. You are curious about how your sample compares with the census, so you also ask the workers the same questions about work that are asked in the census.
Suppose the mean travel time to work from the most recent census is 24.1 minutes, with a standard deviation of 4.5 minutes. Your sample of 102 US workers…
