Question

The following transition matrix represents a Markov chain with states A, B, C, D and E (given in that order) and initial state matrix S0 = [0 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.4]. P = [ 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0.1 0.5 0 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.3 0 0.2 ] What is the probability the process will eventually be in state B?

Step 1

P = $\begin{bmatrix} 0.1 & 0.5 & 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.2 \\ 0.3 & 0.3 & 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.2 \\ 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.3 & 0.3 & 0.2 \\ 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.3 & 0.3 \\ 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.2 & 0.4 \\ \end{bmatrix}$ S₀ = [0, 0.3, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4] Show more…
