will rain + will not rain = 100%

  72%    + will not rain = 100%

                will not rain = 28%    <em>subtracted 72% from both sides</em>

Answer: 28%

The probability of any event is a number ranging from 0 to 1.

Once you partition the sample space (i.e. you find a sequence of events which are disjointed and cover the whole sample space), you know that the sum of the probabilities of the events in the partition is 1.

In particular, for every event E, the event and its negation \lnot E are a partition: they are disjointed (it is impossible that both an event and its negation happen at the same time) and they cover the whole sample space (the event will either happen or not happen, there are no alternatives).

So, you know that

P(E) + P(\lnot E) = 1

And you can deduce that

P(\lnot E) = 1-P(E)

This is a fundamental equation in probability: the probability of the negation of an event is the complementary to 1 of the probability of that event.

When dealing with percentage, 1 means 100%. So, if it rains with probability 72%, it doesn't rain with probability

100\%-72\% = 27\%

What is the volume of this prism? <br> A. 23.9 ^3<br> B. 47.7 cm^3<br> C. 4.50 cm^3<br> D. 9.00 cm^3
melisa1 [442]

Answer: A) 23.9

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a shape means the area of its base multiplied by its height

so , the base here is a right angle triangle it's area equals 1/2*b*h = 1/2*3*6=9 m² and the prism height is 2.65.

therefore the volume is 2.65*9
