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

The correct answer is c.  There is no possible way to know how much the mean age decreases, but we know it definitely will (averages decrease as values less than the average are added to the data.) <span />
