Please solve and show solutions for questions 2-4

At any given time, a subatomic particle can be in one of two states, and it moves randomly from one state to another when it is excited. If it is in state 1
on one observation, then it is 2 times as likely to be in state 1 as state 2 on the next observation. Likewise, if it is in the state 2 on one observation, then it
is 2 as likely to be in the state 2 as state 1 on the next observation.
1. Find the transition matrix for this Markov chain.

2. If the particle is in state 1 on the first observation, what is the probability it is in state 1 on the fourth observation?
3. If the particle is in state 2 currently, what is the probability that it will be in state 2 then state 1 then state 1 then state 2 on the next four
observations?
4. If the particle is in state 1 on the fourth observation, what is the probability that it will be in state 2 on the sixth observation and state 1 on the
seventh observation?
