Suppose the probability that the probability of rain today in Vernon is 0.4 and the probability of rain today in Kelowna is 0.3. The probability that it will rain in both cities today is 0.2. A) What is the probability that it will rain in Kelowna or Vernon today? B) What is the probability that it will rain Kelowna today but not in Vernon? C) Suppose that it has started to rain in Kelowna today. What is the conditional probability that it will also start to rain in Vernon today? D) Is the event that it will rain today in Kelowna independent of the event that it will rain today in Vernon?

Find the stationary distribution of this chain Suppose that the probability it rains today is 0.3 if neither of the last two days was rainy, but 0.6 if at least one of the last two days was rainy. Let the weather on day n, Wn, be R for rain, or S for sun. Wn is not a Markov chain, but the weather for the last two days Xn = (Wn−1 , Wn ) is a Markov chain with four states...

Instruction: Type your answer in the unit of percentage point, and round to three decimal places. E.g., if your answer is 0.0106465 or 1.06465%, should type ONLY the number 1.065, neither 0.0106465, 0.0106, nor 1.065%, because I already have percentage sign at the end of the problem. Otherwise, Blackboard will treat it as a wrong...
