A certain town never has two sunny days in a row. Each day is classified as being either sunny, cloudy (but dry), or rainy. If i

t is sunny one day, then it is equally likely to be either cloudy or rainy the next day. If it is rainy or cloudy one day, then there is one chance in two that it will be the same the next day, and if it changes then it is equally likely to be either of the other two possibilities. In the long run, what proportion of days are sunny

Answer:

the proportion of days that are Sunny is 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using markov chain;

3 states; Sunny(1), Cloudy(2) and Rainy(3)

Now, based on given conditions, the transition matrix can be obtained in the following way;

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0.5&0.5\\0.25&0.5&0.25\\0.25&0.25&0.5\end{array}\right]

so let the proportion of sunny, cloudy and rainy days be S, C and R respectively.

such that, from column 1

S = 0.25C + 0.25R   -------------let this be equation 1

from column 2

0.5C = 0.5S + 0.25R

divided through by 0.5

C = S + 0.5R ---------------------- let this be equation 2

now putting equation 2 into equation;

S = 0.25(S + 0.5R) + 0.25R

S = 0.25S + 0.125R + 0.25R

S - 0.25S = 0.375R

0.75S = 0.375R

S = 0.375R / 0.75

S = 0.5R

Therefore,

from equation 2; C = S + 0.5R

input S = 0.5R

C = 0.5R + 0.5R

C = R

Now, we know that, the sum of the three proportion should be equal to one;

so

S + C + R = 1

since C = R and S = 0.5R

we substitute

0.5R + R + R = 1

2.5R = 1

R = 1/2.5

R = 0.4

Hence, the proportion of days that are Rainy is 0.4

C = R

C = 0.4

Hence, the proportion of days that are Cloudy is 0.4

S = 0.5R

S = 0.5(0.4)

S = 0.2

Hence, the proportion of days that are Sunny is 0.2

Use the monthly payment formula to find the monthly payment for a $1,000, one year

<h3>Answer:  89,58 $ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula :

\displaystyle \rm S=A\cdot \left (1+\frac{N}{100}  \right  )^{\big r}

where r is years ; N is the percentage by which we increase the price ; A is the original price

In our case :

\rm r=1 \ \ ;  \ \  A=100 \ \ ;   \  \  N=7,5\% \\\\ S=1000\cdot \bigg(  1+\dfrac{7,5}{100} \bigg)^1=1000\cdot 1,075=\boxed{1075\$}

Then the monthly salary is equal to:

\dfrac{1075}{12} \approx 89,58 \$

I want to know the answer to an increase of 1.6% of $1252.00
Morgarella [4.7K]
It’s easy!
Since you’re increasing 1.6% to $1252 you write the expression as:
=1252+1.6% of 1252
=1252+(1.6/100)*1252
=1252+0.016*1252
=1252+20.032
=1272.032
That’s your final answer
