Question

The registrar of Computronics Institute has compiled the following statistics on the progress of the school's students in the 2-year computer programming course leading to an associate degree: Of beginning students in a particular year, 90% successfully complete their first year of study and move on to the second year, whereas 10% drop out of the program; of second-year students in a particular year, 70% go on to graduate at the end of the year, whereas 30% drop out of the program (a) Construct the transition matrix associated with this Markov process. (Let state one be students who have dropped out, state two be students who complete the program, state three be students in their first year, and state four be students in their second year. Construct your matrix in order state one through state four.) (b) Compute the steady-state matrix (c) Determine the probability that a beginning student enrolled in the program will complete the course successfully
