This problem involves the career plans of students in a biology class. Assume that the class consists of 40 percent freshmen, 15 percent sophomores, 15 percent juniors, and 30 percent seniors. Assume further that 60 percent of the freshmen, 50 percent of the sophomores, 25 percent of the juniors, and 10 percent of the seniors plan to go to medical school. One student is selected at random from the class.

The weather in a particular town in the Pacific northwest is classified as either good, indifferent or bad. If the weather is good on a particular day, the probability it will remain good the next day is only 11%, and there is a 45% chance it will be indifferent. If the weather is indifferent on a particular day, there is a 20% chance it will become good, and a 42% chance it will become bad. If the weather is bad on a particular day, there is a 48% chance it will be bad the next day, and a 21% chance it will become indifferent. Construct the stochastic matrix that models this problem.
