In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is an 8% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 7% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider the provided question,

The transition matrix according to the given data is written as,

  Nonsmokers 1 pack/day or less > 1 pack/day
Nonsmokers 0.88 0.08 0.04
1 pack/day or less 0.1 0.8 0.1
> 1 pack/day 0.07 0.1 0.83

Here, T=0.880.080.040.10.80.10.070.10.83

And the initial vector is X0=0.50.250.25
