Question

The probabilty of it raining on a given day is 3/8 what is the probabilty of it not raining?

Answer 1

5/8

Explanation:

To find the probability of it not raining, subtract 3/8 from 1.

1 - 3/8

= 5/8

Since the probability of it raining is 3/8, this must mean that during the rest of the time, it will not rain.

So, the probability of it not raining is 5/8

Answer 2

5/8

Explanation:

If 3/8 IS raining, then the remaining 8ths is NOT raining. 8 - 3 = 5. So, 5/8 is NOT raining.

I hope this helps!
