(b) Some winter days in Minnesota it seems like snow will never stop. A Minnesota's view of winter might be described by the following transition matrix for a weather Markov chain, where r, s, and c denote rain, snow, and clear, respectively. r(0.3 0.5 0.2 s 0.1 0.6 0.3 c 0.1 0.6 0.3 For tomorrow, the meteorologist predicts a 50% chance of snow and a 50% chance of rain. Find the probability that it will snow 2 days later.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

all of the measures need to be converted to the same measure; such as inches. if you do that it is easy to determine which is the longest, 2500 mm which is approximately 97.5 inches.

a. positive: 2 or 0; negative : 2 or 0; complex: 4or2or0
