Question

Solution
The total number of beanbag chairs is the sum of all the chairs, which is 4 (Velvet & Foam) + 4 (Velvet & Beads) + 5 (Suede & Foam) + 3 (Suede & Beads) = 16 chairs.
The number of suede and foam chairs is 5.
So, the probability of selecting a suede and foam chair is the number of suede and foam chairs divided by the total number of chairs.
Therefore, the probability is 5/16.

Quiz Question Alice and Bob are sitting directly across from each other at a circular table withsix chairs. They decide to move chairs.At each step, Alice and Bob will move according to the following rules.AliceBob(1) Alice chooses a chair randomly, which is equally likely to be the chair on her left, the chairon her right, or her current chair. Independently, Bob also chooses a chair randomly,which is equally likely to be the chair on his left, the chair on his right, or his currentchair.Alice’s choice of chair at this step is unaffected by where Bob is sitting, and similarly forBob’s choice of chair.(2) Then Alice and Bob compare their choices. If they have chosen the same chair, then Aliceand Bob do not move. Otherwise, if they have chosen different chairs, then they eachmove to the chair they chose.If Alice and Bob are sitting next to each other at the current step, and if they each choosethe other person’s chair, then they will swap chairs.

If Alice and Bob are sitting directly across from each other, the distance is defined to be 3.Otherwise the distance is defined to be 2. These three possibilities are illustrated below:AliceBobDistance 1Alice BobDistance 2AliceBobDistance 3The stochastic process (Xn, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ) is a Markov chain with state space S = {1, 2, 3}.(a) Consider the situation where Alice and Bob are at state Xn = 3 (i.e., across from eachother). What are the way(s) they could choose chairs in order to reach state 1 (i.e., besideeach other) after one step? What is the probability of this happening? Which transitionprobability have you just found?(b) What are the way(s) they could choose chairs in order to stay at state 3 after one step?What is the probability of this happening?
