Markov Chains & Long-Run Behavior · Medium problem
A city's recycling pickup is either on schedule or delayed each week. If pickup was on schedule this week, it is on schedule next week with probability (otherwise delayed); if it was delayed this week, it is on schedule next week with probability (otherwise delayed again). In the long run, out of the next weeks, how many would you expect to be delayed?
