That makes sense, thanks for the explanation.
The tricky thing about this question is that there are many possibilities, so I am not sure if there is any definitive answer for it?
Thanks for the reply. So why is it the case that Steve Stevenson becomes a possibility just because difference in ages means absolute difference? Can you explain that a bit more please?
Thanks.
Sorry for any confusion. Not necessarily in order of their age or alphabet. But it is just saying that Clark comes first, then David then John and then Steve. Just in order of their places. Whereas the surnames are listed not necessarily in order.
It means Clark - Clarkson = 1
No, this is just...
If you have Clark, David, John and Steve in order and their last names (not in order) are Clarkson, Davidson Johnston and Steveston, where the difference in age between Clark and Clarkson is 1, the difference between David and Davidson is 2, the difference between John and Johnston is 3.
What...
Ok so let's not waste time on parts a and b, because I have checked with my professor and said they are correct, so all what I am asking is if you could give me some help, tips and guidance regarding how to do parts c and d, thanks.
Yeah I know how to do parts a and b, I have already done them.
Part a:
1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 0
0 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
0 0 1/4 1/4 1/2
0 0 0 1/4 3/4
0 0 0 0 1
Part b...
Oh I see! Thanks for this great explanation. So now I have pretty much knocked out both P^n and P^2n, but I am not able to FIGURE OUT P^(2n+1), any suggestions? Thanks.
I have been able to figure out that P^2n converges and to where it converges, but then how can we have a situation where P^2n and P^(2n+1) converge but P^n does not converge?
