5) If the local professional basketball team, the Sneakers, wins today's game, they have a 2/3 chance of winning their next game. If they lose this game, they have a 1/2 chance of winning their next game.

A) Make a Markov Chain for this problem; give the matrix of transition probabilities and draw the transition diagram.
B) If there is a 50-50 chance of the Sneakers winning today's game, what are the chances that they win their next game?
C) If they won today, what are the chances of winning the game after the next?

Answer:

If they win today's game, the probability to win the next game = 2/3  

Therefore the probability that they lose the next game when they win today's game = 1-(2/3) =1/3.

If they lose today's game, the probability to win the next game = 1/2

so, the probability to lose is 1/2.

a)        [tex]\begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{3}&\frac{1}{2} & \\\\ \frac{1}{3}&\frac{1}{2} & \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

b)       [tex]p=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2}\\\\ \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

         [tex]p^{'} =\begin{bmatrix} \frac{7}{12}\\\\ \frac{5}{12} \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

c) Let them win today's game

[tex]p=\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}\\\\\\p^{'} =\begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{3} \end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]p^{''}= \left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{11}{18} \\\\\frac{7}{18} \end{array}\right][/tex]

The chances that they win their next game are 58.33%, while if they won today, the chances of winning the game after the next are 38.88%.

Probabilities

Given that if the local professional basketball team, the Sneakers, wins today's game, they have a 2/3 chance of winning their next game, while if they lose this game, they have a 1/2 chance of winning their next game, to determine, if there is a 50-50 chance of the Sneakers winning today's game, what are the chances that they win their next game, and determine, if they won today, what are the chances of winning the game after the next, you must perform the following calculations:

  • (2/3 + 1/2) / 2 = X
  • 1,666 / 2 = X
  • 0.58333 = X

  • ((2/3 + 1/2 / 2) x 2/3 = X
  • 0.58333 x 0.666 = X
  • 0.3888 = X

Therefore, the chances that they win their next game are 58.33%, while if they won today, the chances of winning the game after the next are 38.88%.
