Every year, during the March-through-September
growing season, a gardener uses a chemical test to
check soil condition. Depending on the outcome of
the soil test, productivity for the new season can
be one of three states: (1) good, (2) fair, and (3)
poor. Over the year, the gardener has observed
that last year's soil condition impacts current year's
productivity. If this year's soil condition is good,
there is a 0.5 chance it will not change next year,
and a 0.3 chance it will be fair. If this year's soil
condition is fair, there is a 0.5 chance it will not
change next year, and a 0.4 chance it will be poor.
If this year's soil condition is poor, there is a 0.6
chance it will not change next year, and a 0.3
chance it will fair.
