T-maze A mouse is put into a T-maze (a maze shaped like a T). In this maze, it has the choice of turning to the left and being rewarded with cheese or going to the right and receiving a mild shock. Before any conditioning takes place (i.e., on trial 1), the mouse is equally likely to go to the left or to the right. After the first trial, its decision is influenced by what happened on the previous trial. If it receives cheese on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right become .9 and .1, respectively, on the following trial. If it receives the electric shock on any trial, the probabilities of going to the left or right on the next trial become .7 and .3, respectively. What is the probability that the mouse will turn left on the second trial?

- Customer Preference Two movie theatres that show several different movies each night compete for the same audience. Of the people who attend theatre A one night, 10 will attend again the next night and 5 will attend Theatre B the next night. Of the people who attend Theatre B one night, 8 will attend again the next night and 6 will attend Theatre A the next night. Of the people who attend neither theatre one night, 3 will attend Theatre A the next night and 4 will attend Theatre B the next night. Find and interpret the steady state matrix for this situation.arrow_forwardRoulette American roulette is a game in which a wheel turns on a spindle and is divided into 38 pockets. Thirty-six of the pockets are numbered 1-36, of which half are red and half are black. Two of the pockets are green and are numbered 0 and 00 (see figure). The dealer spins the wheel and a small ball in opposite directions. As the ball slows to a stop, it has an equal probability of landing in any of the numbered pockets. (a) Find the probability of landing in the number 00 pocket. (b) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket. (c) Find the probability of landing in a green pocket or a black pocket. (d) Find the probability of landing in the number 14 pocket on two consecutive spins. (e) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket on three consecutive spins.arrow_forward
