Consider a game of “ladder climbing”. There are 5 levels in the game, level 1 is the lowest (bottom) and level 5 is the highest (top). A player starts at the bottom. Each time, a fair coin is tossed. If it turns up heads, the player moves up one rung. If tails, the payer moves down to the very bottom. Once at the top level, the player moves to the very bottom if a tail turns up, and stray at the top if head turns up.
- Find the transition probability matrix.
- Find the two-step (p2) transition probability matrix.
- Find the steady-state distribution of the Markov chains.

1) If you roll 4 fair dice, what is the probability that the sum of the face-up values is less than 22 OR all the face-up values are equal? 2) Billy and Cam are playing the following game: each player has a coin and decides whether to leave it as heads or tails before showdown (both player reveals their coin simultaneously). If both coins are heads, Billy wins $2. If both are tails, Billy wins $0.50. Otherwise, Cam wins $1....

1) A day on a planet X can be in 2 states: sunny or rainy. The climate of planet X is determined by the following pattern: every sunny day is followed by a sunny day with a probability of 2/3, and every rainy day is followed by a rainy day with a probability of 1/3. (a) Find the transition matrix that represents the above change in weather pattern. (b) Find a steady state vector for the above Markov system. 2)...

Please be descriptive!!
1. Use this exercise to convince yourself that using different probabilities, the same discrete time chain may produce different stationary discrete time Markov chains with different transition matrices (we only consider two probabilities here in this problem; there are many other proba- bilities that can be chosen for which the process is not stationary or does not satisfy the Markov property). Consider two states 0 or 1 which a process...

Please help me write these in R script / Code 1, Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door #2?" What is the probability of winning the car if...

"Chutes and Ladders" is a popular board game for children. The game consists of a board that has squares which are numbered from 1 to 100, and players have counters which start on the theoretical square 0. On each player’s turn, the player generates a random integer number from 1 to 6 (e.g. by rolling a die or spinning a wheel) and move their marker through the board that many spaces. If you land at the bottom of a ladder...
