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).

What does the missing number represent?

Answer: (C) the number of groups

Step-by-step explanation: It cannot be the total because the total is 18, the size of the groups does not make sense because it seems that you are trying to find a total, and the difference makes no sense because this does not seem like a subtraction problem. (C) the number of groups makes sense because their is a total number of groups.

Hope this helps! :)

Mila [183]

2  1/5x * 1 7/10 y  *  4  3/5 x 1 7/10  (* 7 4/50)

Finds the answer  

10 6/50x  *  7  41/50y   (* 7/4/50)  = 56

79 13/100  (* 7 4/50)  = 56

560  = 56 (10x)

x = 5 6/10

7 (y) = 56 (7y)

8 = 56/7  (y)

y = 8

x = 5 6/10

6/10 of 560  = 336  

336/60 = x

336/60 = 5 6/10

Prove that . 1+cot2 theta = cosec2theta​
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean identity

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 ( divide terms by sin²θ )

\frac{sin^20}{sin^20} + \frac{cos^20}{sin^20} = \frac{1}{sin^20} , that is

1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ ← as required
