Question

1. A firm rents out cars and operates from three locations - the Airport, the Beach and the City. Customers may return vehicles to any of the three locations. The company estimates that the probability of a car being returned to each location is as follows: Car returned to Car hired from Airport Beach City Airport $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ Beach $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ 0 City $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ Figure 1: Table of car-hire data. A car is parked at the airport. On average, how many times will it need to be hired until it is left in the city?
