Question

If there's a 35% chance of rain and a 10% chance of rain with a daily high temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF, what's the probability that the daily high temperature will be between 65ºF and 70ºF?

a) 35%
b) 10%
c) 3.5%
d) 0.35%

Answer 1

The probability that the daily high temperature will be between 65ºF and 70ºF is 3.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the daily high temperature will be between 65ºF and 70ºF can be calculated by multiplying the probabilities of the two events. In this case, the probability of rain is 35% and the probability of a daily high temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF is 10%. So, the probability that both events occur is 35% * 10% = 3.5%.
