Answer:

.90 x .30 =.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability when you have A and B you can set to 100 A=will rain B=not rain

.90+.10 =1

The same is with the game being postponed.

.30+.70 =1

.90 x .30 =.27

when it says the probablitiy that it will rain tomorrow AND the baseball game will be postponed, you multiply the two probabilities

Answer:

27%

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of both raining and base ball being postponed:

→ raining probability * base ball being postponed

→ 90% * 30%

→ 0.27

In percentage:

→ 27%
