Question:

4. (Pliskin and Tell, 1981) Patients suffering from kidney failure can either get a transplant or undergo periodic dialysis. During anyone year, 30% undergo cadaveric transplants and 10% receive living-donor kidneys. In the year following a transplant, 30% of the cadaveric transplants and 15% of living-donor recipients go back to dialysis. Death percentages among the two groups are 20% and 10%, respectively. Of those in the dialysis pool, 10% die and of the ones who survive more than one year after a transplant, 5% die and 5% go back to dialysis. Represent the situation as a Markov chain.
