A coffee shop has two coffee machines, and only one coffee machine is in operation at any given time. A coffee machine may break down on any given day with probability 0.2 and it is impos- sible that both coffee machines break down on the same day. There is a repair store close to this coffee shop and it takes 2 days to fix the coffee machine completely. This repair store can only handle one broken coffee machine at a time. Define your own Markov chain and use it to compute the proportion of time in the long run that there is no coffee machine in operation in the coffee shop at the end of the day.
