Question 1 of 8

Calculator allowed

A seasonal survey classifies tagged animals by the habitat site they use. State categories are recorded at the end of each model period

Use the state order north site and central site. One application represents one season. In \(T\), each column is a current state and each row is a next state

\[T=\begin{bmatrix} -0.25 & 0 \\ 0.75 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\]

All calculations use exact rational entries. Do not round an intermediate matrix entry or column total

The proposal says that the next state depends only on the current state

1 mark

Evaluate the matrix and the stated dependence rule. Which conclusion is correct?
