True/ false

A subject of general concern about the future of health care is a population boom that rapidly expands the workforce.

True/ false

The bureaucratic dispersal of our federal government health financed programs was due in large part to the opposition of organized medicine.

The diagrams below show three Markov chains, where arrows indicate a non-zero transition probability. A Markov Chain 1 State 1 State 2 State 3 B Markov Chain 2 State 1 State 2 State 3 State 4 C Markov Chain 3 State 1 State 2 State whether each of the chains is: e irreducible . periodic, giving the period. [3]2. (10 points) Consider a continuous-time Markov chain with the transition rate matrix 4 2 2 Q = 3 1 5 0 -5 (a) What is the expected amount of time spent in each state? (b) What is the transition probability matrix of the embedded discrete-time Markov chain? (c) Is this continuous-time Markov chain irreducible? (d) Compute the stationary distribution for the continuous-time Markov chain and the em- bedded discrete-time Markov chain and compare the two.SECTION 5.2. The Weak Law of Large Numbers Problem 4. In order to estimate f, the true fraction of smokers in a large population. Alvin selects n people at random. His estimator Mn is obtained by dividing Sn, the number of smokers in his sample, by n, i.e., Mn = Sn. Alvin chooses the sample size n to be the smallest possible number for which the Chebyshev inequality yields a guarantee that P(IMn - 1 Z E) 56, where e and o are some prespecified tolerances. Determine how the value of n recom- mended by the Chebyshev inequality changes in the following cases. (a) The value of e is reduced to half its original value. (b) The probability o is reduced to half its original value
