During the winter months in a particular city, snowfall occurs at the average rate of two inches per week. melting and evaporation will reduce existing accumulation at the rate of three inches per week. in both cases, the time in days to increase or decrease an inch is negative exponentially distributed. that is, if no melting were to occur, the time unit one more inch would fall would be negative exponentially distributed. similarily, if there were no new snow, the time to decrease an inch would be exponential. of course, both natural processes occur together.

a. develop a continyous time markov model of the changing depth of snow on the ground in inches. provide a transition diagram or matrix and identify all parameters.

b. is the markov assumption reasonable? discuss factors that would tend to affirm or refute the assumption. (don't worry about stationarity.)

c. show how to compute the fraction of time there is more than three inches of snow on the ground.

step-by-step explanation:

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
