Answer: Our required probability is 0.48.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that days are cloudy in January = 51%

Probability that days are cloudy and foggy = 25%

So, we need to find the probability that a randomly selected day in January will be foggy if it is cloudy.

So,P( Foggy|cloudy) is given by


(P(Foggy\cap cloudy))/(P(cloudy))\\\\=(25)/(51)\\\\=0.48

Hence, our required probability is 0.48.
