Answer:

0.25 = 25% probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Cloudy skies

Event B: Rain

20% of all days start with clouds in the air

This means that P(A) = 0.2

50% of rainy days start with rain clouds in the air

50% of 10%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.5*0.1 = 0.05

What is the probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.05}{0.2} = 0.25

0.25 = 25% probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

Consuelo and James are writing an algebraic expression for three times the sum of n squared and 3. Is either of them correct?
Artyom0805 [142]

<u>Yes the first one is correct because n squared is n with the 2 above it and adding it to three gets your first answer and then the three on the outside means to multiply so your first response is correct.</u>
