Answer:

They are equally likely to occur

Explanation:

Probabilities

The probabilities can be expressed as fractions, decimals or percentages. A probability of 0 indicates an impossible event. A probability of 1 means a sure event. An event is said to be more likely to happen than others if its probability is greater.

We know the probability of it snowing in Eastern Canada tomorrow is 0.40, and we are also aware that the probability of it snowing in Western Canada tomorrow is 2/5. Dividing 2 by 5 we get 0.4. Since both events have the same probability, they are equally likely to occur
