Provide an appropriate response.Why is this matrix not a suitable transition matrix for a Markov chain?
What will be an ideal response?
It lacks two of the features of a transition matrix:
1) The entry in the 1st row, 3rd column is negative. All entries must be between 0 and 1 inclusive, because all entries represent probabilities.
2) It is not square (since there are more columns than rows).
