A certain calculating machine uses only the digits 0 and 1. It is supposed to transmit one of these digits through several stages. However, at every stage, there is a probability p that the digit that enters this stage will be changed when it leaves and a probability q = 1 − p that it won’t. Form a Markov chain to represent the process oftransmission by taking as states the digits 0 and 1. What is the matrix of transition probabilities? Now draw a tree and assign probabilities assuming that the process begins in state 0 and moves through two stages of transmission. What is the probability that the machine, after two stages, produces the digit 0 (i.e., the correct digit)?

A bus containing 100 gamblers arrives in Las Vegas on a Monday morning. The gamblers play only poker or blackjack, and never change games during the day. The gamblers' daily choice of game can be modeled by a Markov chain: 95% of the gamblers playing poker today will play poker tomorrow, and 80% of the gamblers playing blackjack today will play blackjack tomorrow. (a) Write down the stochastic (Markov) matrix corresponding to this Markov chain. (b) If 60 gamblers play poker on Monday, how many gamblers play blackjack on Tuesday? (c) Find the unique steady-state vector for the Markov matrix in part (a).

Suppose it is known that in the city of Golden the weather is either "good" or "bad". If the weather is good on any given day, there is a 2/3 chance it will be good the next day. If the weather is bad on any given day, there is a 1/2 chance it will be bad the next day. a) Find the stochastic matrix P for this Markov chain. b) Given that on Saturday there is a 100% chance of good weather in Golden, use the stochastic matrix from part (a) to find the probability that the weather on Monday will be good. The initial state xo = c) Over the long run, what is the probability that the weather in Golden is good?
Consider a random walk on the graph with 6 vertices below. Suppose that 0 and 5 are absorbing vertices, but the random walker is more strongly attracted to 5 than to 0.
