Answer 1

Given :

• Chances of rain for five days

To find :

• Probability of rain between any two days
• The best day to host an outdoor cookout

Solution :

The probability that it will rain on Monday

• = 72/ 100 = 0.72

The probability that it will rain on Tuesday

• = 15/100 = 0.15

The probability that it will rain on Wednesday

• = 41/100 = 0.41

The probability that it will rain on Thursday

• 45/100 = 0.45

The probability that it will rain on Friday

• 68/100 = 0.68

#1

• The probability that it will rain on Wednesday is higher than the probability that it would rain on Tuesday.
• The probability of it raining on Wednesday than Tuesday is higher by 26%

#2

• The best day to host an outdoor cookout event would be Tuesday,as it has the least chance of raining outside.
