All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.

That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If x_i is the component for state i, then you have

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=1\iff 0.2+4x_4+0+x_4=1\implies5x_4=0.8\implies x_4=0.16

which means x_2=4x_4=0.64. So the state vector is \mathbf x=(0.2,0.64,0,0.16).

Answer:

Divide the number of contestants by 4 and when there is 120 contestants there is 30 winners

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking back at past sequences we can see that when we had 8 contestants we had 2 winners 8/4=2 and we also saw 16/4=4 so that was the formula now we just had to do it on 120 contestants and now we get 30 winners....Hope this helps! :)
