Weekly ice cream sales and weekly average temperaturearrow_forwardSuppose you have the following transition probabilities. P = Product A B C A 0.40 0 0.60 B 0.30 0.35 0.35 C 0 0.50 0.50 a. Calculate the 3-step transition matrix and interpret each elements.arrow_forwardRedo exercises 7 and 8 in section 8.3 of your textbook, about the small animal who lives in an area with woods and meadows, using the following data: If the animal is in the woods on one observation, then it is four times as likely to be in the woods as the meadows on the next observation. If the animal is in the meadows on one observation, then it is as likely to be in the meadows as the woods on the next observation. Assume that state 1 is being in the meadows and that state 2 is being in the woods. (1) Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. P = (2) If the animal is twice as likely to be in the meadows as in the woods, find the state vector X that represents this information? (3) Using the state vector determined in the preceding part as the initial state vector, find the probability that the animal is in the meadow on the third observation after the initial one. (4) If the probability that the animal will be the meadow at a specific point in time is 0.05, how many…arrow_forward

Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Old Faithful Using the listed duration and interval after times, find the best predicted “interval after” time for an eruption with a duration of 253 seconds. How does it compare to an actual eruption with a duration of 253 seconds and an interval after time of 83 minutes?arrow_forward
