The probability that there is no accident at a certain busy intersection is 95% on any given day, independently of the other days. (a) Find the probability that there will be no accidents at this intersection during the next 7 days. (b) Find the probability that next September there will be exactly 2 days with accidents. (c) Today was accident-free. Find the probability that there is no accident during the next 4 days, but there is at least by the end of the 10th day.

Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
