Question

There is a 45% chance of snow on Friday. Thereis a 78% chance that I will go sledding if it snows. What is the probability that I will go

sledding?

Answer 1

35.1% chance of going sledding

Explanation:

45% chance of snow on Friday

Convert percentage to decimal form (divide by 100)

45% = 0.45

78% chance of sledding if it snows

Convert percentage to decimal form (divide by 100) to multiply

78% = 0.78

Multiply to find the probability of both occurring

0.78 * 0.45 = 0.351

Convert back into a percentage (multiply by 100)

0.351 = 35.1% chance of sledding
