4. Consider a Markov chain {Xn,n=0,1,2,...} with state-space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and transition matrix P= 1 0 1/2 0 1/3 0 1/2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1/3 0 1/2 1/2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1/3/ Let Zo = 0 and for n=1,2,..., define Zn = [X.-Xn-il. a) Write down the state space of the stochastic process {Zn = 0,1,2,...}. b) Show that Zn is NOT a Markov chain by giving an example of where the Markov property breaks down.
