For the month of January in a certain city, 42% of the days are cloudy. Also in the month of January in the same city, 41% o

zalisa [80]

Answer: 0.9762

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that days are cloudy and B be the event that days are rainy for January month .

Given : The probability that the days are cloudy = $P(A)=0.42$

The probability that the days are cloudy and rainy = $P(A\cap B)=0.41$

Now, the conditional probability that a randomly selected day in January will be rainy if it is cloudy is given by :-

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.41}{0.42}=0.97619047619\approx0.9762$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected day in January will be rainy if it is cloudy = 0.9762

What is the difference between 126 1/4 an 78 2/3

Vaselesa [24]

1) find the lcd the lcd is 12
2)rewrite the fractions 1/4 and 2/3 using 12 as the denominator (second column) you get 3/12 and 8/12
3) since its confusing to subtract 8/12 from 3/12 you need to borrow one form the 126 doing so is the same as taking 12/12 from 126 this change to 125 and the 12/12 adds to the 3/12 making it 15/12
4) subtract 8/12 form 15/12 to get 7/12
5) subtract 78 form 125 to get 47
6) the answer is 47 7/12
