A taxi driver conducts his business in three different towns 1, 2, and 3. On any given day, when he is in town 1, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to a place in town 1 is 0.3, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 2 is 0.2, and the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 3 is 0.5. When he is in town 2, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 1 is 0.1, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 2 is 0.8, and the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 3 is 0.1. When he is in town 3, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 1 is 0.4, the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 2 is 0.4, and the probability that the next passenger he picks up is going to town 3 is 0.2.
