A bucket always contains two balls. Ball colors are red and blue. Each stage in a process consists of two steps: selection and r

eplacement. At each stage a ball is randomly selected and then replaced by a new ball, which with probability 0.8 is the same color, and with probability 0.2 is the opposite color, as the ball it replaces. If initially both balls are red, find the probability that the fifth ball selected is red. (You will find it helpful to first model this system as a Markov chain.)

Answer:

Probability that the fifth ball selected is red = 0.705

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

X_{n} = Number of red balls after the 4th turn

⇒X_{n}  ∈ { 0, 1, 2 }

Then,

P = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.8&0.2&0\\0.1&0.8&0.1\\0&0.2&0.8\end{array}\right]

⇒P^{4} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.487&0.435&0.776\\0.218&0.565&0.218\\0.776&0.435&0.487\end{array}\right]

Now,

P(5th ball is red | X_{0} = 2 ) = 0. P^{4} _{20} + \frac{1}{2}P^{4} _{21} + 1. P^{4} _{22}

                                         =  \frac{1}{2} (0.4352) + 1. (0.4872) = 0.2176 + 0.4872

                                        = 0.705

∴ we get

Probability that the fifth ball selected is red = 0.705

Whats 12 x 4? Thank you for answering!
dedylja [7]

So, we have the following equation...

12*4=?

To do this its pretty simple just multiply 12 by 4.

12*4=48.

Your final answer is 48!

I only need 3 more brainliests so if i could get one that would be a big help!
