Question

What is the probability that a randomly selected day in the summer will be rainy if it’s cloudy?

Answer 1

0.872

Explanation:

Given that :

P(cloudy) = P(C) = 0.94

P(cloudy and rainy) = P(C n R) = 0.82

Probability that a given day will be rainy if it is cloudy ; this is a conditional probability problem:

Recall ; P(A|B) = P(AnB) / P(B)

P(R|C) = P(C n R) / P(C) = 0.82 / 0.94 = 0.872
