- In Exercises 1-4, let P=[0.50.30.50.7] be the transition matrix for a Markov chain with two states. Let X0=[0.50.5]be the initial state vector for the population. What proportion of the state 2 population will be in state 2 after two steps?arrow_forwardConsider the Markov chain whose matrix of transition probabilities P is given in Example 7b. Show that the steady state matrix X depends on the initial state matrix X0 by finding X for each X0. X0=[0.250.250.250.25] b X0=[0.250.250.400.10] Example 7 Finding Steady State Matrices of Absorbing Markov Chains Find the steady state matrix X of each absorbing Markov chain with matrix of transition probabilities P. b.P=[0.500.200.210.300.100.400.200.11]arrow_forwardExplain how you can determine the steady state matrix X of an absorbing Markov chain by inspection.arrow_forward
