It is particularly concerned about its major competitor, Mr. Knickerbocker, and which Clemson-related store has the ‘lead’ market share. Recent history has suggested that which Clemson-related store has the ‘lead market share’ can be modeled as a Markov Chain using three states: TSS (Tiger Sports Shop), MK (Mr. Knickerbocker), and Other Company (OC). Data on the lead market share is taken monthly and you have constructed the following one-step transition probability matrix from past data in the picture. a) The current state of the lead market share in October is that Tiger Sports Shop is in the lead (i.e., the Markov Chain in October is TSS). Tiger Sports Shop is considering launching a new brand in February only if it has the lead market share in January. Determine the probability that TSS will launch this new brand.
