If the animal is in the woods on one observation, then it is three times as likely to be in the woods as the meadows on the next observation. If the animal is in the meadows on one observation, then it is twice as likely to be in the meadows as the woods on the next observation.

Assume that state 1 is being in the meadows and that state 2 is being in the woods.

(1) Find the transition matrix for this Markov process.

P = [? ?]

? ?

^2x2 matrix

(2) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the woods on the next three observations?

(3) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the meadow on the next three observations?

Emma has noticed a small red fox living in the park near her apartment. She takes a walk at the same time every day and has observed the fox in three different areas: in the woods, in the meadow, and by the pond. If it is in the woods on one observation, then it is twice as likely to be in the woods as in the meadow on the next observation but not by the pond. If it is in...

A network is modeled by a Markov chain with three states fA;B;Cg. States A, B, C denote low, medium and high utilization respectively. From state A, the system may stay at state A with probability 0.4, or go to state B with probability 0.6, in the next time slot. From state B, it may go to state C with probability 0.6, or stay at state B with probability 0.4, in the next time slot. From state C, it may go...

In the Tiger problem, an agent is facing two closed doors. Behind one of the doors is a treasure, and behind the other is a tiger. Initially, the tiger has a 50–50 chance of being behind either door. The tiger will switch door with a 30% chance. The agent makes one of two possible “observations”: either it hears the tiger on the right or it hears the tiger on the left. The agent will hear the tiger behind the correct...

Solve this problem two different ways: 1) by raising the matrix to a higher power; and 2) by directly computing the invariant probability vector as a left eigenvector.

Consider a simplification of a autonomous vehicle project on Markov processes. The process has three states that describe the driving environment: s1:= “driving in city,” s2 := “driving in suburbs,” s3 := “driving in rural area (‘country’).” If the car is driving in the city, there is a 50% chance the next passenger pickup assignment will also be in the city. If the car is driving in the suburbs, there is a 40% chance the next passenger pickup assignment will...

. Consider two machines that are maintained by a two repairmen, with one assigned to each machine. Machine i functions for an exponential time with rate µi before breaking down, for i = 1, 2. The repair times (for either machine) are exponential with rate µ. Model this as a continuous-time Markov chain, both in terms of a transition matrix with state-dependent rates, and as a rate matrix.
