1) Student transitions. Consider this model for a small, prestigious academy with a difficult curriculum. The academy has 4 grades for its students: entry level (g1), novice (g2), experienced (g3), and advanced (g4).Each year studentseither are demoted, stay in their grade, are promoted, orquit. In addition, many of the g4 studentsgraduate. Absorbing states are defined as quit or graduate. In particular,
From entry level (g1): 2% remain g1, 87% promoted to g2, 1% promoted to g3, and 10% quit
From novicelevel (g2): 3% demoted to g1, 4% remain g2, 78% promoted to g3, and 15% quit
From experienced level (g3): 7% demoted to g2, 5% remain g3, 68% promoted to g4, 14% quit, and 6% graduate early
From advanced level (g4): 8% demoted to g3, 11% remain g4, 25% quit, and 56% graduate
