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.
