Exercise 4.

Markov chains (Initial state multiplication):

Suppose that 4 types of soft drinks are obtained in the market: Colombian, Pepsi
Cola, Fanta and Coca Cola when a person has bought Colombian there is a probability
that they will continue to consume 40%, 20% of which will buy Pepsi Cola, 10% that
Fanta buys and 30% that Coca Cola consumes; when the buyer currently consumes
Pepsi Cola there is a probability that he will continue to buy 30%, 20% buy
Colombiana, 20% that Fanta consumes and 30% Coca Cola; if Fanta is currently
consumed, the likelihood of it continuing to be consumed is 20%, 40% buy
Colombian, 20% consume Pepsi Cola and 20% go to Coca Cola. If you currently
consume Coca Cola the probability that it will continue to consume is 50%, 20% buy
Colombian, 20% that consumes Pepsi Cola and 10% that is passed to Fanta.
