17) A white rat is put into the maze consisting of 9 compartments. The rat moves through the

compartment at random. That is there are k ways to leave a compartment. The rat chooses each of the

move with probability1/k.

Section-C

Answer any  TWO  questions:                                                                                      ( 2×20=40 marks)

 

19a) Show that a Markov Chain is fully determined, when its initial distribution and one step transition

probabilities of the Markov chain are known.

 

19b) State and prove Chapman-Kolmogrov equation.

 

 

 

 

20) Sociologist often assumes that the social classes of a successive generation in a family can be regarded as a Markov chain. The TPM of such model is as follows.

Son’s Class
Lower Middle Upper
Lower 0.4 0.5 0.1
Father’s Class Middle 0.05 0.7 0.25
Upper 0.05 0.5 0.45

Find

  1. What proportion of people are lower class in the long run?
  2. What proportion of people are middle class in the long run?
  • What proportion of people are upper class in the long run?

21a) Explain the one dimensional random walk problem with the TPM .

 

21b) If the  probability of a dry day (state-0) following a rainy day (state-1)is 1/3, and that of a rainy day following a dry day is  ½.   Find i) Probability that May 3 is a dry day given that May first is a dry day. ii) Probability that May 5 is a rainy day given that May first is a dry day..
