question 16

Multiple Choice

Use the given transition matrix P and the given initial distribution vector v to obtain the two-step transition matrix and the distribution vector after two steps. $P = \left[ \begin{array} { c c } 1 & 0 \\0.4 & 0.6\end{array} \right]$ , $v = \left[ \begin{array} { l l } 0.6 & 0.4\end{array} \right]$

• \end{array} \right]\)
• B) The two-step transition matrix is \(\left[ \begin{array} { c c }
• 1 & 0 \\
• 0.64 & 0.36
• \end{array} \right]\)
• The distribution vector is \(\left[ \begin{array} { l l }
• 0.16 & 0
• \end{array} \right]\)
• C) The two-step transition matrix is \(\left[ \begin{array} { c c }
• 1 & 0 \\
• 0.64 & 0.36
• \end{array} \right]\)
• The distribution vector is \(\left[ \begin{array} { l l }
• 1 & 0
• \end{array} \right]\)
• D) The two-step transition matrix is \(\left[ \begin{array} { c c }
• 0.64 & 0.36 \\
• 1 & 0
• \end{array} \right]\)
• The distribution vector is \(\left[ \begin{array} { l l }
• 0 & 1
• \end{array} \right]\)
