Marcov Chain confirmation

27 Views Asked by At

I am currently having some problems on the following question:

Given is the function $f(x)$:

$f(x) = 0,1,2$ with probability $\frac{1}{3}$ for each.

I have to give the state space, transition probability matrix and explain why independent successive draws from $f(x)$, $X_1,X_2,\dots$, is a time-homogeneous Markov Chain.

This is really unclear to me since it seems to me that it is not a Markov Chain as the next state is independent from the previous state.

Also, would the transition matrix be a $3$ x $3$ matrix with each entry $\frac{1}{3}$?

Thank you in forward!
