Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of going from state 1 in period 2 to state 4 in period 3 is given by the product of the probability of going from state 1 to state 1 in period 2 (pS1U1B1), the probability of going from state 1 to state 4 in period 3 given that we are in state 1 in period 2 (pS1U1B14), and the probability of staying in state 1 in period 3 given that we are in state 1 in period 2 (pS1U1B0). Thus, the correct answer is pS1U1B114S1U1B0.
