Question:

Suppose that an object is moving according to the following transition model: 

Here, 0 < p < 1 and 0 < q < 1 are arbitrary probabilities. At time 0, the object is known to be in state A. 

a. What is the probability that the object is in A at time n ≥ 0? 

b. What is the probability that the object first reaches B at time n ≥ 1? 

c. What is the probability that the object is in B at time n ≥ 1? 

d. What is the probability that the object first reaches C at time n ≥ 2?

e. What is the probability that the object is in C at time n ≥ 2?
