Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

- Let us have the experience of a mouse falling into a trap inside a 6-room building, as shown in the figure below. If the room contains k doors, the probability that the mouse will choose one of these doors is 1/k if the mouse reaches room F that contains the food or room S that contains the trap. It will stay there and the experiment ends, the transition matrix is M= [0.5 0 0.5 0 0.3 0 0 ¹0.5 0 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.5 0 000 O a O b О с 2 000 0.5 0 0.5 0 0 0 0 0.3 0 0.5 0 0.5 M = - 0 0.5 0.5 b 3 ..+. 4 5 0 0 S M= 0 0 0 1 0 0.5 0 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0.3 0.3 0 0 0.3 0 0.5 0 0 0.5 0 0 1 00000 10 0 000 0.5 0 0 0.5 0 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0.3 0.3 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 000 0 0 0 0 C 0 0 0.3 0.5 1 (a)arrow_forwardCan someone please help me with this question.

- 2. A manufacturer has a machine that, when operational at the beginning of a day, has a probability of 0.1 of breaking down sometime during the day. When this happens, the repair is done the next day and completed at the end of that day.

Use these results to identify the expected number of full days that the machine will remain operational before the next breakdown after a repair is completed. (b) Now suppose that the machine already has gone 20 full days without a breakdown since the last repair was completed. How does the expected number of full days hereafter that the machine will remain operational before the next breakdown compare with the corresponding result from part (b) when…arrow_forwardSuppose a two state experiment has the following transition matrix: P= 0.8 0.2 0.6 0.4 Answer the following questions: 1.
