The following stochastic matrix P gives the probabilities for a certain region of college and noncollege educated households having at least one college educated child. By a college educated household we understand that at least one parent is college educated, while by noncollege educated we mean that neither parent is college educated.

P
0.9 0.25
college educated  child
0.1 0.75 noncollege educated
If there are currently 200,000 college educated households and 900,000 noncollege educated households what is the predicted distribution for two generations hence?
college educated
noncolledge educated


What is the probability that a couple that has no college education will have at least one grandchild with a college education?
