Answer

$P=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Write the $ij$th entry of $P$ as the probability of transition from the state $i$ to $j$: $1→1$: $\frac{1}{4}$ $1→2$: $\frac{3}{4}$ $2→1$: $\frac{1}{2}$ $2→2$: $\frac{1}{2}$ So: $P=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \end{bmatrix}$
