A monthly membership model records members assigned to two library branches

Use the state order central branch, neighbourhood branch and write state populations as a column. In T, a column is the current state and a row is the next state

\[S=\begin{bmatrix} 720 \\ 840 \end{bmatrix}\]

The entries marked ? are the missing transition entries in one source-state column

\[T=\begin{bmatrix} ? & 0.15 \\ ? & 0.85 \end{bmatrix}\]

The supplied rate is \(0.15\) from neighbourhood branch to central branch

At equilibrium, the flow from central branch to neighbourhood branch equals the flow from neighbourhood branch to central branch

(a)1 mark

What is the balanced flow in the direction of the supplied rate? Give the number of members

(b)2 marks

Complete the missing transition column
