Chapter 10.2, Problem 20E
Consider the mouse in the following maze, which includes “one-way” doors.
What fraction of the time does the mouse spend in each of the rooms in the maze?
In Exercises 19 and 20, suppose a mouse wanders through the given maze, some of whose doors are “one-way”: they are just large enough for the mouse to squeeze through in only one direction. The mouse still must move into a different room at each time step if possible. When faced with accessible openings into two or more rooms, the mouse chooses them with equal probability.
20. The mouse is placed in room 1 of the maze shown below.
- a. Construct a transition matrix and an initial probability
vector for the mouse’s travels. - b. What are the probabilities that the mouse will be in each of the rooms after 3 moves?

It is claimed that a vitamin supplement helps mice learn to run a maze more quickly and, in fact, to beat a non-treated mouse 70% of the time (whereas without the supplement, it would only win half of the time). To test this claim, you divide a group of 20 mice randomly into ten pairs, giving one of each pair the vitamin supplement. You run each pair through the maze and find that seven out of ten of the mice treated with the vitamin supplement beat the untreated mice.
a) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is true?
b) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is false (i.e., the supplement has no effect)?
c) Suppose before you ran this experiment, you thought it was equally likely that the claim was true or false. After running the experiment, what is your belief? What is the updated probability?
The call center of a small manufacturer receives calls randomly at an average rate of 9 customers per hour. The arriving calls are answered by a single agent randomly with an average service rate of 12 customers per hour. Answer the following questions assuming that the system can be modeled as an M/M/1 queue.
average waiting time in queue (in minutes):
minimum integer service rate (number of customers served per hour)
such that the average waiting time in queue is less than 7 minutes:
A man is walking through a maze with 6 electric gates independent of each other. Let Ai = be the case that a door works.
P(A1) = 0.7 P(A2) = 0.4 P(A3 ) = 0.5 P(A4 ) =0.9 P(A5) = 0.3 P(A6)= 0.6

- In a previous exercise, you were asked to model the following scenario with a directed network. A car rental company has three locations in Mexico City: the International Airport, Oficina Vallejo, and Downtown. Customers can drop off their vehicles at any of these locations. Based on prior experience, the company expects that, at the end of each day, 40% of the cars that begin the day at the Airport will end up Downtown, 40% will return to the Airport, and 20% will be at Oficina Vallejo. Similarly, 70% of the Oficina Vallejo cars will end up Downtown, with 10% returning to Oficina Vallejo and 20% to the Airport. Finally, 30% of Downtown cars will end up at each of the other locations, with 40% staying at the Downtown location. This scenario can also be investigated using a discrete-time population model.Let An, Vn, and Dn be the number of cars at the Airport, Oficina Vallejo, and Downtown, respectively, on day n.

She tells Gabe that she needs to check his backpack to make sure that he finished his homework. Gabe cannot remember where he left his backpack, but he knows for sure that he did not complete his homework and will not be allowed to eat a cookie. Gabe believes his only option is to quickly steal a cookie while his mother is out of the room. Judy then leaves the room to look for Gabes backpack. Assume that judy could return at any time in the next 60 seconds with equal probability . For the first 20 seconds, Gabe sheepishly wonders if he will get caught trying to grab a nearby cookie.

- Three components are connected to form a system as shown in the accompanying diagram. Because the components in the 2–3 subsystem are connected in parallel, that subsystem will function if at least one of the two individual components functions. For the entire system to function, component 1 must function and so must the 2–3 subsystem. The experiment consists of determining the condition of each component [S (success) for a functioning component and F (failure) for a nonfunctioning component]. (Enter your answers in set notation.
