Genetics. A given plant species has red, pink, or white flowers according to the genotypes RR. RW, and WW, respectively. If each of these genotypes is crossed with a red-flowering plant, the transition matrix is
If each generation of the plant is crossed only with red plants to produce the next generation, show that eventually all the flowers produced by the plants will be red. (Find the limiting matrix.)

This is called Mendelian inheritance, after Gregor Mendel (1822-1884). Each of us has an ABO blood type, which describes whether two characteristics called A and B are present. Every human being has two blood type alleles (gene forms), one inherited from our mother and one from our father. Each of these alleles can be A, B, or O. Which two we inherit determines our blood type. Here is a table that shows what our blood type is for each combination of two alleles. Alleles inherited Blood type A and A A A and B AB A and O A B and B B B and O B O and O O We inherit each of a parent's two alleles with probability 0.5. We inherit independently from our mother and father. What is the probability that both children have different blood types?arrow_forward
- There are two boxes. At first, each box contains one white ball and one black ball. At each step, we draw one ball from each box randomly and exchange them. If we set that State 1 = Box 1 contains no white balls, State 2= Box 1 contains one white ball, State 3 = Box 1 contains two white balls. 1. Find the transition matrix. Answer: 2. After 10 steps, what is the probability that box 1 contains two white balls?

Researchers decided to randomly select 50 residents from Manhattan and 40 residents from the other four boroughs. All were free from anxiety disorders at the start of the study. They then followed the participants for three years to determine how many in each group developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of Manhattan, 18 out of 50 developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of the other four boroughs, 12 out of 40 developed an anxiety disorder. Question : The risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in Manhattan was _______ times the risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in the other boroughs.arrow_forwardA university offers a Calculus class, a Sociology class, and a Spanish class.

We focus on the sequence of shopping trips of one customer and assume that the customer makes one shopping trip each week to either Murphy's Foodliner or Catalina's Supermarket, but not both. The data shows that of all customers who shopped at Murphy's in a given week, 90% shopped at Murphy's the following week while 10% switched to Catalina's. The data shows that of all customers who shopped at Catalina's in a given week, 80% shopped at Catalina's the following week while 20% switched to Murphy's. Suppose that we are considering the Markov process associated with the shopping trips of one customer, but we do not know where the customer shopped during the last week. Thus, we might assume a 0.5 probability that the customer shopped at Murphy's (State 1) and a 0.5 probability that the customer shopped at Catalina's…arrow_forwardSuppose we are interested in analyzing the market share and customer loyalty for Murphy's Foodliner and Ashley's Supermarket, the only two grocery stores in a small town.
