an example of HMM

Given a model (from Ankur Jain's slides) and question with the answer is presented below:

enter image description here

Initial probabilities: say P(‘Low’)=0.4 , P(‘High’)=0.6 .

However i'm confused why in the solution we have an extra 0.4, i guess it should be as follows, can you clarify me?

P(‘Dry’|’Low’)P(‘Rain’|’Low’) P(‘Low’)P(‘Low’|’Low)
= 0.4*0.6*0.4*0.3

It looks like your calculation is correct, unless I'm also missing something. – VitalStatistix Jan 8 at 12:58
