Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much.
A space ship warp engine has enough energy to perform two warp jumps going between star systems (i.e., the warp battery has 2 units of charge). The ship can operate in two modes: survey the current system or charge battery. On a given day the ship will complete the survey of the current system with probability 0.24. Then, if battery has capacity, it will move to a new system, consuming 1 unit of charge. If the battery is empty, the ship will switch to the charging mode. In the charging mode, the ship will recover 1 unit of charge on a given day with probability 0.95. The ship will stay in the charging mode until the battery is full. Model the behavior of the ship as a Markov chain.
For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha,
Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE
alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting
nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
O A. zero
O B. minus 1
OC. minus 2
O D. minus 3
