Question

Transcribed Image Text:7. Dolphin behavior (seen in HW5). The behavior of dolphins in the presence of tour boats in
Patagonia, Argentina is studied in Dans et al. (2012). A Markov chain model is developed, with
state space consisting of five primary dolphin activities (socializing, traveling, milling, feeding,
and resting). The following transition matrix is obtained.
/0.84 0.11 0.01 0.04
0.03 0.80 0.04 0.10 0.03
P = | 0.01 0.15 0.70 0.07 0.07
0.03 0.19 0.02 0.75 0.01
\0.03 0.09 0.05
0.83/
Use technology to find the long-term distribution of dolphin activity.
b. using this result, predict what behavior is the most likely to be observe long-term
a.

- Aileen, a Scottish spy, has three fake identities that she uses to get information. The process is really quite involved, but she uses a Markov chain process to make it more difficult for her Irish adversaries to track her: "Hope" (state 1), "Trixie"(state 2), and "Fiona" (state 3). The transition matrix is .5 .5 P = .2 .2 .6 .4 .1 .5 On the first observation, Aileen used "Trixie" as her identity. Which of the three fake identities is she most likely to have used on the third observation? O Hope and Fiona are equally likely O Hope and Trixie are equally likely Fiona О Норе O None of the others are correct O Trixiearrow_forwardLong-Run Properties of Markov Chains The leading brewery on the West Coast (labeled A) has hired an OR analyst to analyze its market position. It is particularly concerned about its major competitor (labeled B). The analyst -believes that brand switching can be modeled as a Markov chain using three states, with states A and B representing customers drinking beer produced from the aforementioned breweries and state C representing all other brands. Data are taken monthly, and the analyst has constructed the following (one-step) transition -matrix from past data. What are the steady-state market shares for the two major -breweries?arrow_forwardPlease help me answer this. Thank you.arrow_forward
- In an office complex of 1000 employees, on any given day some are at work and the rest are absent. It is known that if an employee is at work today, there is an 85% chance that she will be at work tomorrow, and if the employee is absent today, there is a 70% chance that she will be absent tomorrow. Suppose that today there are 740 employees at work. (A graphing calculator is recommended.)
