A computer is inspected at the end of every hour. If the computer is found to be up, the probability of remaining up the next hour is .9. If it is down, the computer is repaired, which may require more than 1 hour whenever the computer is down (regardless of how long it has been down), the probability of its still being down 1 hour later is .35. Let the computer states "down" and "up" be represented by 0 and 1 respectively.
