= 
(a) Identify the matrices S and R.(b) Find the fundamental matrix F.(c) What is the expected number of times the process will be in state 3 if it starts in state 3?(d) What is the expected number of times the process will be in state 4 if it starts in state 3? (e) Compute the expected number of steps before absorption if the process starts in state 3.
