Answer:
After 1st year, the age distribution will be
[tex]x_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1584\\36\\108\end{array}\right][/tex]
After 2nd year, the age distribution will be
[tex]x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5256\\396\\27\end{array}\right][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A population has the following characteristics.
A total of 25% of the population survives the first year. Of that 25%, 75% survives the second year.
The average number of offspring for each member of the population is 3 the first year, 5 the second year, and 3 the third year.
From the above information, we can construct a transition age matrix.
[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right][/tex]
The population now consists of 144 members in each of the three age classes.
From the above information, we can construct the current age matrix.
[tex]x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}144\\144\\144\end{array}\right][/tex]
How many members will there be in each age class in 1 year?
After 1st year, the age distribution will be
[tex]x_1 = A \cdot x[/tex]
[tex]x_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}144\\144\\144\end{array}\right][/tex]
The matrix multiplication is possible since the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of second matrix.
[tex]x_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1584\\36\\108\end{array}\right][/tex]
After 2nd year, the age distribution will be
[tex]x_2 = A \cdot x_1[/tex]
[tex]x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1584\\36\\108\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5256\\396\\27\end{array}\right][/tex]
