Answer 1

Given

Prediction of rain on Saturday 50% Sunday 40%. If these predictions are correct what is the probability it WILL NOT rain over the weekend?

Solution

`Probability\text{ =}\frac{Possible\text{ outcome}}{Total\text{ outcome}}`

Possible outcome

`\begin{gathered} correct\text{ prediction=}50\text{ \% +40 \%=90 \%} \\ Total\text{ outcome =100\%} \end{gathered}`

The probability it WILL NOT rain over the weekend i.e incorrect prediction

`100\text{ \%-90 \%=10\%}`

The final answer

`10\text{ \%}`
