Concept explainers
(a) Dry Cleaning Using the initial probability
(b) Using your results front part (a), find the difference between the equilibrium proportion of customers going to Johnson and the proportion going there for each of the first 10 weeks. Be sure to compute the equilibrium proportions to at least 6 decimal places.
(c) Find the ratio between each difference calculated in part (b) and the difference for the previous week.
(d) Using your results from part (c), explain how the probability vector approaches the equilibrium vector.
(e) Repeat parts (a)-(d) of this exercise using the initial probability vector [0.75 0.25].
