          Let (Xn: n = 0,1,2,...) be a Markov chain with two states 1, 2 with the following one-step transition probability matrix:

state   1/4   3/4
        1/2   1/2

What is the probability that in exactly two steps after starting at n = 0, the state is 2 for the FIRST TIME?

0     1/8
none of the other choices
3/16  0
4/4
