A state vector X for a four-state Markov chain is such that the system is four times as likely to be in state 2 as in 4, is not

in state 3, and is in state 1 with probability 0.2. Find the state vector. Can someone tell me what the answer is please? I've literally tried this 40+ times and my homework says its wrong. It would be greatly appreciated.

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).

The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = an - 1 + d.
LekaFEV [45]
If an is a5
and
an-1 is a4

then using your recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence
an=an-1 +d
then
a5=a4+d

now, a4 =6 and common difference "d"  is d=-11
hence
a5=6 -11
6-11= -5


any questions?

slega [8]

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

ASSUMING NORMAL DISTRIBUTION, LESS THAN 10% AT LOWER END

OF 15.34 MEANS     [DENOTING MEAN BY M AND Standard Deviation. BY S]

M±AS=20%....................M-AS=15.34

FOR 20% LEVEL .......A=1.281........FROM TABLES

M-1.281×S=15.34............................1

SIMILARLY

M±BS=40%...................M+BS=16.31

FOR 40% LEVEL .............B=0.841...................FROM TABLES

M+0.841×S=16.31.............................2

EQN.2 - EQN.1

2.122×S=0.97

S=0.457=0.46

M=15.926= 15.93

HENCE, D IS THE ANSWER

that is D. μ = 15.93, σ =.46

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), is the income source of last resort for thelow-income aged, blind, and disabled. As the nation's largest income-assistance program, it paid $38 billion in benefits in calendar year 2006 to roughly 7 million recipients per month. BecauseSSI is means tested, administering the program often requires month-to-month, recipient-by-recipient benefit recomputations. An increase in a recipient's income usually triggers a benefit recomputation. Or, an increase in the recipient's financial assets, which may render the recipient ineligible, would also prompt a recomputation. With this crush of ongoing recomputations, it is of little wonder that administrative simplification is a time-honored mantra for program administrators.
