Question8: We are at a city named Freezo, close to the North Pole, where the days are either "warm" or "cold" (with temperature either above of below freezing). Assume that if we have a cold day today, then tomorrow will be also be cold with probability p (and warm with probability 1 – p), and if today is warm then tomorrow will be warm with probability q (and cold with probability 1 – q). Here p and q are some numbers in the interval (0, 1). Consider a matrix 1- - p (8a) Prove that 1 = 1 is an eigenvalue of A (for any choice of p and q). (8b) Set p = 3/4 and q = 1/2. Find the eigenvector %3D of A corresponding to 1 = 1, such that x + y = 1. (8c) It turns out that the numbers x and y that you found in (8b) represent the long-term probability that any given day will be cold and warm, respectively. We are planning a 30-day event "Snowtopia" in 2031 that requires at least 18 cold days during the event. Is Freezo a suitable place to host this event? Explain why.
