Answer: There is an approximate 10.7% probability that it will snow on Sunday, making it the day with the lowest likelihood of snow.

Step-by-step explanation: Snow is highly likely on Friday with an 80% probability. The likelihood of no snowfall occurring on Friday is 20%, which can be calculated by subtracting 0.8 (or 80%) from 1.

There is a high probability of snowfall on Saturday with a 7 in 9 likelihood. In simpler terms, the probability can be reduced to 7 out of 9 or around 0.78. The likelihood of snowfall on Saturday is 78%, therefore the chance of no snow on that day is 22% which is equivalent to 1 minus 0.78.

There is a high likelihood of snow on Sunday with a probability of 75 out of 100 or 14 out of 19. It is possible to reduce this to a likelihood of 0.7514, or about 0.107. The likelihood of Sunday not having snow is equivalent to subtracting 0.107 from 1, resulting in a 0.893 or 89.3% probability.
