The school has its own bookstore, called University Book Store, but there are also three private bookstores in town: Bill’s Book Store, College Book Store, and Battle’s Book Store. The university is concerned about the large number of students who are switching to one of the private stores. As a result, South Wisconsin’s president, Andy Lange, has decided to give a student three hours of university credit to look into the problem. The following matrix of transition probabilities was obtained: UNIVERSITY BILL’S COLLEGE BATTLE’S UNIVERSITY 0.6 0.2 0.1 0.1 BILL’S 0 0.7 0.2 0.1 COLLEGE 0.1 0.1 0.8 0 BATTLE’S 0.05 0.05 0.1 0.8 At the present time, each of the four bookstores has an equal share of the market. What will the market shares be for the next period?arrow_forward1. A wood manufacturer must decide whether to merge with a larger company to make more investments. If they merge and it is a good sales year, there will be a $910,000 profit; if they merge and it is a poor sales year, there will be a deficit of $ 330,000. If they do not merge and it is a good sales year there will be a $525,000 profit; if they do not merge and it is a poor sales year there will be a $97,000 profit. If the probability of a good sales year is 0.26 and the probability of a poor sales year is 0.76, would merging with the larger company maximize the expected profit?arrow_forward
