A poker player has either good luck or bad luck each time she plays poker. She notices that if she has good luck one time, then she has good luck the next time with probability 0.5 and if she has bad luck one time, then she has good luck the next time with probability 0.2. What fraction of the time in the long run does the poker player have good luck?

If Jackson turns on his favorite TV station at a randomly selected time, the probability that the current show will be on a commercial break is 0.35. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this probability? 35% of the money that Jackson’s favorite TV channel makes comes from advertising. For every 100 minutes Jackson watches his favorite TV station, 35 of those minutes will be taken up by commercials. Tomorrow, Jackson's favorite TV station will run commercials for 35% of the air time. If you take a very large sample of the times Jackson tunes in to his favorite TV station, a commercial will be on about 35% of the time.
