• A) \(P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]\)
• B) \(P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right]\)
• C) \(P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right]\)
• D) \(P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right]\)
• E) \(P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 & \frac { 2 } { 3 } \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]\)
