R - it is rain (probablity: 0.86) N - it is not rain (probablity: 1-0.86 = 0.14) You've got these cases:
R R R R R R R R R N R R R R R R R R N R R R R R R R R N R R . . . N R R R R R R R R R - it is 10 cases. Probablity each case is (0.86)^9 * 0.14 - it is approximately 0.036 (9R and 1N - you multiply everything)
It is 10 cases so you have to multiply by 10 and you get 0.36
There is also eleventh case:
R R R R R R R R R R
Probablity is (0.86)^10 approximately 0.22
Add these cases and you'll get your probablity: 0.36 + 0.22 = 0.58
The Civil Rights Act of 1866, passed over the veto of President Andrew Johnson, gave ex-slaves full citizenship (except for voting) in the United States. ... The era of Reconstruction was an attempt to establish new governments in the former Confederacy and to bring freedmen into society as voting citizens.
First, I subtracted 72 from 200 and that gave me 128. Then, I divided 128 by 8 and got 16. To check my work I multiplied 16 by 8 and got 128. Then I added 72 to 128 and got 200.
