Answer 1

The answer is 42 i took the test its right

Explanation:

Answer 2

The probability is 42%

Explanation:

The probability that A and B, two independent events, happens is given by:

P=P(A)*P(B)

In this case, lets call A the event in which there are sunny weather tomorrow and B the event in which Tara goes to the beach. Taking into account that they are independent, that means that one event doesn't affect the other, the probability P that it will be sunny tomorrow and Tara will go to the beach is:

P=0.7*0.6=0.42

Multiplying P by 100, we get:

P=42%

So, the probability that it will be sunny tomorrow and Tara will go to the beach is 42%
