Question
1. In the Dark Ages, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale admitted only male students. Assume that, at that time, 80 percent of the sons of Harvard men went to Harvard and the rest went to Yale, 40 percent of the sons of Yale men went to Yale, and the rest split evenly between Harvard and Dartmouth; and of the sons of Dartmouth men, 70 percent went to Dartmouth, 20 percent to Harvard, and 10 percent to Yale. (a) Find the probability that a grandson of a man from Harvard goes to Harvard. (b) Find the probability that a grandson of a man from Dartmouth goes to Yale. (c) What is the steady state distribution for this Markov chain? (d) Find the entropy rate Hoo for this Markov chain (you might find the formula Ho=E, P(S.)H(S.) useful).
