Answer:

a) 30% probability that it will not be colder today than it was yesterday

b) 90% probability that it will not be warmer today than it was yesterday

Explanation:

In this question, we have that:

0.1 = 10% probability it will be warmer today than yesterday.

0.7 = 70% probability it will be colder today than yesterday.

a .What is the probability that it will not be colder today than it was yesterday?

70% probability it will be colder, so 100 - 70 = 30% probability that it will not be colder today than it was yesterday.

b What is the probability that it will not be warmer today than it was yesterday?

10% probability it will be warmer today than yesterday, so 100 - 10 = 90% probability that it will not be warmer today than it was yesterday
