Question

Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value.

"There is a 40% chance of rain tomorrow."

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation: The given statement is :

"There is a 40% chance of rain tomorrow."

We are to express the indicated degree of the likelihood i.e., 40%, in the form of a probability value.

We know that when we talk about probability, then the its value for the sure event is 1 and for the null event is 0. That is, the probability of any event to be happened lies between 0 and 1.

And, when we write in form of percentage, then vallue for the sure event is 100% and for the null event is 0%. That is, the probability of any event to be happened lies between 0% and 1%.

Therefore,

`40\%=(40)/(100)=0.4.`

Thus, the answer is 0.4.
