3.3.7 A component in a system is placed into service, where it operates until its fail- ure, whereupon it is replaced at the end of the period with a new component having statistically identical properties, and the process repeats. The proba- bility that a component lasts for k periods is a. for k = 1,2,.... Let X, be the remaining life of the component in service at the end-of-period n. Then, X=0 means that X+1 will be the total operating life of the next component. Give the transition probabilities for the Markov chain (X).

3.3.7 A component in a system is placed into service, where it operates until its fail-
ure, whereupon it is replaced at the end of the period with a new component
having statistically identical properties, and the process repeats. The proba-
bility that a component lasts for k periods is ak. for k = 1,2,.... Let X be
the remaining life of the component in service at the end-of-period n. Then,
X=0 means that X+1 will be the total operating life of the next component.
Give the transition probabilities for the Markov chain (X).
