Question

In a certain weather forecast comma the chances of a thunderstormweather forecast, the chances of a thunderstorm are stated as ​"77 in 1616​." Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive.

The probability is

Answer 1

The probability is 0.4376.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Chances of a thunderstorm are 7 in 16.

We have to express this indicated degree degree of likelihood as a probability value.

Formula:

`\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}`

Putting values, we get,

`\text{P(thunderstorm)} = (7)/(16) = 0.4375`

The probability is 0.4376.
