b) E(X) = n * (M/N) = 10 * (3/10) = 3

V(X) = { (N-n)/(N-1) } * ( (n*M)/N ) * ( 1- (M/N) )
= 0.8163 * 3 * 0.7 = 1.71423

It is not mentioned in the question what p is and I figured it out
according to the answer
given alongside the question that p actually denotes the probability that
the drought ends in
the next period. That is, (1p) represents the probability that it extends.
a) P(exactly 3 intervals) = (1-p)^3 * p = (1-0.409)^3 * 0.409 = 0.0844
b) P(at most 3 intervals) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)
= 0.409 + 0.591 * 0.409 + 0.591^2 * 0.409 +
0.0844
= 0.87797
c) Mean = r(1-p)/p where r=1
= (1-p)/p = 0.591/0.409 = 1.44498
Standard deviation = sqrt( (r*(1-p) )/p^2 ) = sqrt( 0.591/0.409^2) =
sqrt(3.53297) = 1.8796

d) P( X > (1.8796+1.44498) ) = P( X > 3.32458) = P(at most 3)

= 1 - P(X<=3)
= 1- 0.87797 = 0.12203
