If a question is solved there, mark it clearly or it may not be graded. Capa plays either one or two chess games every day, with the number of games that she plays on successive days being a markov chain with transition probabilities. P1,1 = 0. 2, p1,2 = 0. 8, p2,1 = 0. 4, p2,2 = 0. 6. Consider the random walk on the integers {0, 1, 2, 3} which takes steps +1 (to the right) with probability 1. 4 , except at the endpoints where there is re ection; this means that a step from 1 to 0 is always followed by a step from 0 to. 1, and a step from 2 to 3 is always followed by a step from 3 to 2.
