- 7. A student has three routes of getting to his school: A, B, and C. Each day he picks one, and his choice is influenced only by his previous day choice: – if he takes route A today, then he will take route A, B, or C next day with respective 1 1 probabilities, 244 - if he takes route B today, then he will take route A, B, or C next day with respective 1 probabilities, 0, 2 - if he takes route C today, then he will take route A, B, or C next day with respective 1 probabilities 3'4'12' (a) Formulate this as a Markov chain by defining its states and giving its (one-step) transition matrix. (b) Find the n-step transition matrix P(n)=2 and 20. (c) If he takes route A today, what is the probability that he will take route A in 2 the day after tomorrow? (d) The probability that he takes route A today is 0.4.
