The weather in Baton Rouge in the spring can be one of four possible states: Cold (C), Mild (M), Hot (H), or Sizzling (S). Below is a transition probability matrix for a Markov Chain model of our weather with the states listed in the order above C,M,H,S.

(1/2 1/4 1/4 0)
(1/5 2/5 1/5 1/5)

(1/5 1/5 1/5 2/5)

(0 1/5 2/5 2/5)

a. If todays weather is cold, what is the probability that it will be hot a week from today? (using computer)

b. If todays weather is cold, what is the probability that it will be sizzling at any time during the next 7 days?

c. If todays weather is cold, what is the conditional probability that it will be hot 7 days from now, given that the weather is never sizzling at any time during the next week?

4. Assume there are three possible future states for the economy (Boom, Stagnant, and Recession) with associated probabilities of 20%, 45%, nd 35%. For each future stae of the economy, a security pays either $40.00 or $20.00 with equal probability (i.e., a 50% chance of either payoff occuring). a.

Previous research states, "no evidence currently exists supporting or refuting the use of electric fans during heat waves" in terms of mortality and illness. Counterintuitively, Public Health guidelines suggest not using fans during hot weather, with some research reporting the potential of fans accelerating body heating. You decide to research further this seemingly contradictory guidance, hypothesizing that the true population average core body temperature amidst higher ambient temperature and humidity levels while using an electric fan is greater than 62...
