If the student attends class on a certain Friday, then he is five times as likely to be absent the next Friday as to attend. If the student is absent on a certain Friday, then he is four times as likely to attend class the next Friday as to be absent again.

Assume that state 1 is Attends Class and that state 2 is Absent from Class.

Find the transition matrix for this Markov process.

1) The number of times that student takes an A class, X(X has a line under) has the discrete uniform pmf: p(x) = 0.25 for x = 1,2,3,4. Recall from earlier course material that this pmf has E(X)(X has a line under)=5/2 and V(X)(X has a line under)= 15/12. A random sample of 36 students will be selected and the number of times that have taken A class will be recorded. -Determine the probability that the mean of this sample...

Can someone please answer these two by Friday? Problem 3 Five men and five women are ranked according to their scores on an examination. Assume that no two scores are alike, and all 10! possible rankings are equally likely. Let X denote the highest ranking achieved by a woman (for example, X = 2 if the top-ranked person was a man, and the next-ranked person was a woman). Find the probability mass function (pmf) of the random variable X, and...
