Concept explainers
(a)
To graph: The transition diagram for Markov process, if some colleges have been rapidly making broadband internet services available in their residence halls of the colleges that offer no broadband internet service, where each year 10% FIOS internet service are introduce, 30% cable internet services are introduce and 60% continue to offer no broadband service, if a broadband service established then it can never be change.
(b)
The absorbing stochastic matrix for the Markov process, if some colleges have been rapidly making broadband internet services available in their residence halls of the colleges that offer no broadband internet service, where each year 10% FIOS internet service are introduce, 30% cable internet services are introduce and 60% continue to offer no broadband service, if a broadband service established then it can never be change.
(c)
To calculate: The stable matrix, if some colleges have been rapidly making broadband internet services available in their residence halls of the colleges that offer no broadband internet service, where each year 10% FIOS internet service are introduce, 30% cable internet services are introduce and 60% continue to offer no broadband service, if a broadband service established then it can never be change.
(d)
To calculate: The percent of collages provide cable internet service for long run, if some colleges have been rapidly making broadband internet services available in their residence halls of the colleges that offer no broadband internet service, where each year 10% FIOS internet service are introduce, 30% cable internet services are introduce and 60% continue to offer no broadband service, if a broadband service established then it can never be change.
(e)
To calculate: The expected number of years required for a college to set up a broadband service when there is no broadband service provided currently, if some colleges have been rapidly making broadband internet services available in their residence halls of the colleges that offer no broadband internet service, where each year 10% FIOS internet service are introduce, 30% cable internet services are introduce and 60% continue to offer no broadband service, if a broadband service established then it can never be change.
