Question
Henry and Samantha have decide to gamble on a game of chance. Initially, each of them has 2 dollars.
Samantha has a bit more experience. Therefore, each turn results in Henry winning with probability 0.2, Samantha winning with probability 0.25, and otherwise it's a draw. Whenever someone wins, they give the other 1 dollar. They play until someone runs out of money. Model the progress of the game as a Markov chain. Write down transition matrix, identify matrices Q and R.
Please fill in the matrix to where the 2 × 2 matrix with entries 0.55, 0. 2 and 0. 25 in the diagonal and sub diagonal positions, respectively are illustrated in the matrix as apposed to the * that denotes it

In fact, when I walk my dog, Wrigley, only 2% of the time do we not see any other dogs. Gary has three dogs (Salsa, Nacho, and Dublin), and we see only Gary and his dogs about 30% of the time when we are on a walk. Lesley has two dogs (Buster and Oreo), and we see only Lesley and her dogs 20% of the time when we are on a walk. Gary and Lesley’s dogs don’t get along; we never see them at the same time.

- A man buys a racehorse for $25,000 and enters it in two races. He plans to sell the horse afterward, hoping to make a profit. If the horse wins both races, its value will jump to $105,000. If it wins one of the races, it will be worth $65,000. If it loses both races, it will be worth only $10,000. The man believes there is a 30% chance that the horse will win the first race and a 35% chance that it will win the second one. Assuming that the two races are independent events, find the man's expected profit.arrow_forwardChapter 15 Quiz 1 There are two types of decision models, deterministic and stochastic.
