Assume that a person's profession can be classified as professional, skilled
laborer, or unskilled laborer. Assume that, of the sons and daughters of
professional person, 80 percent are professional, 10 percent are skilled
laborer, and 10 percent are unskilled laborer. In the case of sons and daughters
of skilled laborer, 60 percent are skilled laborer, 20 percent are professional,
and 20 percent are unskilled. Finally, in the case of unskilled laborer, 50
percent of the sons and daughters are unskilled laborer, and 25 percent each
are in the other two categories. Assume that every person has at least one son
or daughter, and form a Markov chain by following the profession of a
randomly chosen son
generations. Set up the matrix of transition probabilities. Find the probability
that a randomly chosen son of grandson of an unskilled laborer is a
professional person.
