Data indicates that the week-to-week changes in volume follow the pattern of a Markov chain with states H and V and the transition probabilities are as follows: Transition Probability H→H 3 H+ V .7 V+H 5 V → V If the current week's volume is high (H), what is the probability that it will be very high (V) 3 weeks from now? a) 56 b) 588 c) 4 d) 412 e) none of the others 24.
