Answer 2

Option (B) 16% is the correct answer since there is a 16% chance that it will rain tomorrow and the football game will be canceled.

Explanation:

Tomorrow has an 80% likelihood of rain and a 20% possibility of a postponed football game.

P(rain) = 80%

Decimal form

P(rain) = 0.80

P(rescheduled football game) = 20%

Decimal form:

P(postponement of football game) = 0.20

The likelihood that tomorrow's football game will be canceled due to rain:

Rain = P(rain)xP(The football match has been postponed)

P = 0.80x0.20

P = 0.16

multiply it by 100 in percentage terms.

P = 0.16x100

P = 16%
