Exercise 4. A certain species of plant always has either three or five leaves. The number is random, with P(3 leaves) 0.4 and P(5 leaves) = 0.6. Each plant has a flower which, randomly, is either open or closed, with probabilities P(open) = 0.8 and P(closed) = 0.2. A botanist collects 1000 randomly chosen plants from this species and nds the following distribution of traits: open closed N3,closed 3 leaves N3,open 5 leaves NE,open N5, closed a) Assuming the two traits are independent, determine the expectations of the counts №3,open, N3,closed, N5,0-en, and N5,close in the table. b) Determine an approximate value for the probability P(N3,open > 340).

A study conducted by the Urban Energy Commission in a large metropolitan area indicates the probabilities that homeowners within the area will use certain heating fuels or solar energy during the next 10 years as the major source of heat for their homes. The following transition matrix represents the transition probabilities from one state to another. Electricity 10.2 Natural Gas Fuel Oil Solar Energy Elec.
