Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 36E
Criminology A study male criminals in Philadelphia found that the probability that one type of offense is followed by another type can be described by the following transition matrix.* Source; The British Journal of Criminology.
* The rounding was changed slightly so the rows of the tradition matrix sum to 1.
(a) For a criminal who commits theft, what is the probability that his next crime is also a theft?
(b) For a criminal who commits theft, what is the probability that his second crime after that is also a theft?
(c) If these trends continue, what are the long-term probabilities for each type of crime?
