edo exercises 17 and 18 in section 8.1 of your textbook, about the small animal who lives in an area with woods and meadows, using the following data:If the animal is in the woods on one observation, then it is twice as likely to be in the woods as the meadows on the next observation. If the animal is in the meadows on one observation, then it is three times as likely to be in the meadows as the woods on the next observation.Assume that state 1 is being in the meadows and that state 2 is being in the woods.(1) Find the transition matrix for this Markov process.
(2) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the woods on the next three observations?
(3) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the meadow on the next three observations?

A researcher with the Department of Education followed a cohort of students who graduated from high school in a certain year, monitoring the progress the students made toward completing a bachelor's degree. One aspect of his research
vas to determine whether students who first attended community college took longer to attain a bachelor's degree than those who immediately attended and remained at a 4-year institution. The data in the table attached below summarize the
esults of his study. Complete parts a) through e) below.
E Click the icon to view the sample data.
OA. The samples are independent.
O B. The samples can be reasonably assumed to be random.
OC. The population is given to be normally distributed.
OD. The sample sizes are large (both greater than or equal to 30).
O E. The sample sizes are not more than 5% of the population.
:) Does the evidence suggest that community college transfer students take longer to attain a bachelor's degree? Use an a= 0.10 level of significance.…

- A real estate agent has developed a linear model for the price of a house, P, in dollars in terms of the area, A, in square feet for the homes in a certain neighborhood. The data set had areas ranging from 1,000 square feet to 4,500 square feet. Would predicting the prices of a home that is 4,900 square feet be interpolation or extrapolation? Explain. Using the model to predict the price of a 4,900 square foot home is extrapolation because 4,900 square feet is outside the range of the areas in the data. Using the model to predict the price of a 4,900 square foot home is interpolation because 4,900 square feet is inside the range of the areas in the data.
