Answer 1

0.03

Explanation:

Given data

Probability that it will rain on Sunday= 0.7

Probability that it will rain on Monday = 0.2

Firstly we need to solve for the probability that it will rain on Tuesday

Sample space S = number of week days = 7

Probability that I will rain on Tuesday = 1/7= 0.14

Hence the probability that it rains on BOTH Monday and Tuesday= 0.2*0.14= 0.028

Rounding up the nearest hundredths = 0.03
