Answer:

D. 0.7

Explanations:

Probability is the chance (likelihood) that an event will take place

The probabilty that it will rain today = 3/5 = 0.6

There is more likelihood that it will rain tomorrow that today.

This means that the probabilty that it will rain tomorro is greater than the probability that it will rain today.

Therefore, the probability of rain tomorrow is more than 0.6

Only option D (0.7) is greater than 0.6, and it is the only correct choice
