TEST BANK FOR Introduction to Stochastic Processes with R By Robert P. Dobrow Converted

1.1 For the following scenarios identify a stochastic process fXt; t 2 Ig, describing (i) Xt in context, (ii) state space, and (iii) index set. State whether the state space and index set are discrete or continuous. b) Xt is the student's status at the end of year t. State space (discrete): S = fDrop Out, Frosh, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Graduateg. Index set (discrete): I = f0; 1; 2; : : :g. c) Xt is the magnitude for an earthquake which occurs at time t. State space (continuous): (0; 1...
