Question: Refer to Problem 93. During the open


Refer to Problem 93. During the open enrollment period, university employees can switch between two available dental care programs: the low-option plan (LOP) and the high-option plan (HOP). Prior to the last open enrollment period, 40% of employees were enrolled in the LOP and 60% in the HOP. During the open enrollment program, 30% of employees in the LOP switched to the HOP and 10% of employees in the HOP switched to the LOP.
(A) Write the transition matrix.
(B) What percentage of employees were enrolled in each dental plan after the last open enrollment period?
(C) If this trend continues, what percentage of employees will be enrolled in each dental plan after the next open enrollment period?

Data from Problem 93:
A midwestern university offers its employees three choices for health care: a clinic-based health maintenance organization (HMO), a preferred provider organization (PPO), and a traditional fee-for-service program (FFS). Each year, the university designates an open enrollment period during which employees may change from one health plan to another. Prior to the last open enrollment period, 20% of employees were enrolled in the HMO, 25% in the PPO, and the remainder in the FFS. During the open enrollment period, 15% of employees in the HMO switched to the PPO and 5% switched to the FFS, 20% of the employees in the PPO switched to the HMO and 10% to the FFS, and 25% of the employees in the FFS switched to the HMO and 30% switched to the PPO.
