Anne and Barry take turns rolling a pair of dice, with Anne going first. Anne’s goal is to obtain a sum of 3, while Barry’s goal is to obtain a sum of 4. The game ends when either player reaches his goal,and the one reaching the goal is the winner. Define a Markov Chain to model the problem.
Suppose two forces Red and Blue, with Red having a starting force = 2, and Blue having a starting force = 1. Engage in a stochastic Lanchester battle assuming square law, in a fight-to-the-finish, with Red a = 0.01 casualties per minute, and Blue b = 0.03 casualties per minute. (a) What is the expected time of the first casualty?(b) What is the probability that there are no casualties in the first 20 minutes?(c) What is the expected number of Red survivors and the expected length of the battle?

Mr. X owes a lot of money to the mafia. If he misses three weekly payments in a row, the mafia boss will lose her patience and Mr. X will be in big trouble (after which he will have larger problems than weekly payments). Let’s say that the probability that Mr.X misses a payment is 5%. Further, at any time, there is a probability of 2% that Mr. X manages to pull off a get-rich-quick scheme and pays off his debt. Model the system as a Markov chain so that you can then evaluate the probability to pay-offthe debt for Mr. X. Write down the transition matrix, identify matrices Q and R. Calculate the matrix N and find the probability that the debt is repaid. Find the expected time until payments are a non-issue one way or the other
PLEASE HELP ME GET THE ANSWER FOR PART B AND IT HAS TO BE FRACTION/INTEGER/ OR EXACT DECIMAL AND THE ASWER I GOT 0.66 FOR FIRST AND 0.99 FOR SECOND AND BOTHER WERE WRONG. The computer center at Rockbottom University has been experiencing computer downtime. Let us assume that the trials of an associated Markov process are defined as one-hour periods and that the probability of the system being in a running state or a down state is based on the state of the system in the previous period. Historical data show the following transition probabilities. To From Running Down Running 0.90 0.10 Down 0.20 0.80 (a) If the system is initially running, what is the probability of the system being down in the next hour of operation? ANSWER FOR PART A IS 0.10 (b) What are the steady-state probabilities of the system being in the running state and in the down state? (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) Running?1= Your answer must be a fraction, integer, or exact decimal. .66 IS…
In the B&K model of Example 18.5-1, suppose that the interarrival time at the checkout area is exponential with mean 5 minutes and that the checkout time per customer is also exponential with mean 10 minutes. Suppose further that will add a fourth counter. Counters 1,2, and 3 will open based on increments of two customers and counter 4 will open when there are 7 or more in the store. (a) The steady-state probabilities, for all . (b) The probability that a fourth counter will be needed. (c) The average number of idle counters.

An investor has decided to commit no more than $80,000 to the purchase of the common stocks of two companies, Company A and Company B. He has also estimated that there is a chance of at most a 1% capital loss on his investment in Company A and a chance of at most a 4% loss on his investment in Company B, and he has decided that these losses should not exceed $2000. On the other hand, he expects to make a(n) 15% profit from his investment in Company A and a(n) 18% profit from his investment in Company B. Determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company (x dollars in Company A and y dollars in Company B) in order to maximize his investment returns. What are the (x,y) values? What is the optimal profit?

If you could only invest in one security, which one would you choose, andwhy?b. Suppose you invest 50% of your money in each of the two. What is yourexpected return and what is your risk?c. If you invest 80% of your money in security 1 and 20% in security 2, whatis your expected return and your risk?d. Denote the expected return and its standard deviation as functions of π byμ(π ) and σ (π ). The pair (μ(π ), σ (π )) trace out a curve in the plane as πvaries from 0 to 1. Plot this curve.e.
