Problems
1. Grocery Shopper State Probabilities for Future Periods. In the market share analysis of Section 16.1, suppose
that we are considering the Markov process associated with the shopping trips of one customer, but we do
not know where the customer shopped during the last week. Thus, we might assume a 0.5 probability that the
customer shopped at Murphy’s and a 0.5 probability that the customer shopped at Catalina’s at period 0; that
is, 𝜋1(0) = 0.5 and 𝜋2(0) = 0.5. Given these initial state probabilities, develop a table similar to Table 16.2
showing the probability of each state in future periods. What do you observe about the long-run probabilities
of each state? LO 1
Probabilities are approaching 1 = 2/3 and 2 = 1/3.
2. Estimating Soft Drink Market Shares. Management of the New Fangled Softdrink Company believes that the
probability of a customer purchasing Red Pop or the company’s major competition, Super Cola, is based on
the customer’s most recent purchase. Suppose that the following transition probabilities are appropriate. LO
1, 2
To
From Red Pop Super Cola
Red Pop 0.9 0.1
Super Cola 0.1 0.9
a. Show the two-period tree diagram for a customer who last purchased Red Pop. What is the probability
that this customer purchases Red Pop on the second purchase?
b. What is the long-run market share for each of these two products?
c. A Red Pop advertising campaign is being planned to increase the probability of attracting Super Cola
customers. Management believes that the new campaign will increase the probability of a customer
1
, switching from Super Cola to Red Pop to 0.15. What is the projected effect of the advertising campaign on
the market shares?
Solutions:
a.
The probability the customer purchases a Red Pop on the second purchase is
0.81 + 0.01 = 0.82.
b. 1 = 0.5, 2 = 0.5
0.90 0.10
c. 𝑃=[ ] 𝜋1 = 0.6 𝜋2 = 0.4
0.10 0.85
3. Anticipating Computer System Status. The computer center at Rockbottom University has been experiencing
computer downtime. Let us assume that the trials of an associated Markov process are defined as one-hour
periods and that the probability of the system being in a running state or a down state is based on the state of
the system in the previous period. Historical data show the following transition probabilities. LO 1, 2, 3
To
From Running Down
Running 0.90 0.10
Down 0.30 0.70
a. If the system is initially running, what is the probability of the system being down in the next hour of
operation?
b. What are the steady-state probabilities of the system being in the running state and in the down state?
Solutions:
a. 0.10 as given by the transition probability
