The pattern of dry and wet days in Cleveland is a homogeneous Markov chain with two states. Every dry day is followed by another dry day with probability 0.8. Every wet day is followed by another wet day with probability 0.6. a) Today is dry in Cleveland. What is the chance of rain (wet) the day after tomorrow? b) Compute the probability that April 1 next year is wet in Cleveland.
decide Tthe problern is easy? Problem 2 (The "Weather frog") Let us assume that a "weather frog" bases his forecast for tomorrow's weather entirely on today's air pressure. Determining a weather forecast is a hypothesis testing problem. For simplicity, let us assume that the weather frog only needs to tell us if the forecast for tomorrow's weather is "sunshine" or "rain". Hence we are dealing with binary hypothesis testing. Let H 0 mean "sunshine" and H 1 mean "rain". We...

4. For a diagnostic test of a certain disease, let T1 denote the probability that the diagnosis is positive given that a subject has the disease, and let T2 denote the probability that the diagnosis is positive given that a subject does not have it. Let p denote the probability that a subject has the disease. (a) More relevant to a patient who has received a positive diagnosis is the probability that they truly have the disease. Given that a...
Problem 2. Tlaloc has 4 umbrellas, each either t home or at work. Each time he goes to work or back, it rains with probability p, independently of all other times. If it rains and there is at least one umbrella with him, he takes it. Otherwise, he gets et. Let Xn be the number of umbrellas at his current location after n trips (so n even corresponds to home and n odd to work. a) Find the transition probabilities...

Problem 3-27 (Algorithmic) Cranberries can be harvested using either a "wet" method or "dry" method. Dry-harvested cranberries can be sold at a premium, while wet harvested cranberries are used mainly for cranberry juice and bring in less revenue. Fresh Made Cranberry Cooperative must decide how much of its cranberry crop should be harvested wet and how much should be dry harvested. Fresh Made has 5500 barrels of cranberries that can be harvested using either the wet or dry method. Dry...

Basic Probability Let us consider a sequence of Bernoulli trials with probability of success p. Such a sequence is observed until the first success occurs. We denote by X the random variable (r.v.), which gives the trial number on which the first success occurs. This way, the probability mass function (pmf) is given by Px(x) = (1 – p)?-?p which means that will be x 1 failures before the occurrence of the first success at the x-th trial. The r.v....
