Answer

$P=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ \frac{1}{6} & \frac{5}{6} \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Write the $ij$th entry of $P$ as the probability of transition from the state $i$ to $j$: $1→1$: $0$ $1→2$: $1$ $2→1$: $\frac{1}{6}$ $2→2$: $\frac{5}{6}$ So: $P=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ \frac{1}{6} & \frac{5}{6} \\ \end{bmatrix}$
