Multinomial sampling

Imagine a small town in Colorado, USA, which has on average 300 sunny days, 35 cloudy days, and 30 rainy days each year. As a scientist studying climate change, you are interested in the distributions of sunny, cloudy, and rainy days in a random span of 50 years if these averages are assumed to remain the same.

The following packages have been imported for you: seaborn as sns, pandas as pd, matplotlib.pyplot as plt, and scipy.stats as st.
