A probability matrix is a square matrix having two properties: (i) every entry is a nonnegative real number, and (ii) the sum of the entries in each row is 1. Let a, b, c, d ∈ (0, 1) be given. Let A = (a 1-a b 1-b) and B = (c 1-c d 1-d). Which of the following is true? (a) The transpose of A is a probability matrix if and only if a + b ≠ 1. (b) A is not a probability matrix (c) B is not a probability matrix (d) AB is a probability matrix (e) None of these.
