On the same day the weather is changing moment by moment. It is either sunny (S), cloudy (C) or rainy (R). If currently, it is sunny then it will be S, C or R the next moment with probabilities 0.5, 04, 0.1 respectively. If it is cloudy right now then it will be S, C or R next moment with probabilities 0.3, 0.4, 0.3. If it is rainy at the moment, then it will be S, C or R in the next moment with probabilities 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 respectively. Suppose that the weather is currently sunny. What is the probability that it is not rainy in any of the following three moments?

In the town, the weather pattern has three categories each day: Windy, Rainy or Sunny. The weather pattern each day follows a Markov chain model. If it is windy on a day, the following day will be sunny for sure; if it is rainy, the following day will be rainy with probability 0.25 otherwise sunny; and if it is sunny, the following day will be windy with probability 0.25, Rainy with probability 0.25 and sunny otherwise.

a) According to the U.S. National Weather Service, at any given moment of any day, approximately 1000 thunderstorms are occurring worldwide. Many of these storms include lightning strikes. Sensitive electronic equipment is used to record the number of lightning strikes worldwide every day. 19 days were selected at random, and the number of lightning strikes on each day was recorded. The sample mean was 9.3 million. Assume the distribution of the number of lightning strikes per day is normal and...

The weather during a Bloodhound game is somewhat unpredictable. It may be sunny, cloudy or rainy. The probability of sunny weather is 0.42. The probability of cloudy weather is 0.38. The probability of rainy weather is .20. John Jay, mighty center-fielder for the Bloodhounds, is colorblind. Thus, if it is sunny, he has a 0.19 probability of hitting a home run in a game; if it cloudy, he has a 0.12 probability of hitting a home run in a game;...

It is March, and you take bus to go to school every day. If the weather is clear, it takes exactly 30 minutes to go to school with the bus. However, if the weather is bad, travel time of the bus becomes a random variable T = 30 + D, where D is the delay due to bad weather. The weather condition is a random variable too, denoted by W. Table 1 shows sample measurements for the weather in March...
