Answer:

a. The probability of it not snowing on that particular day is 7/11

b. The probability of it not raining on that particular day is 5/8

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to understand something.

The probability of an event happening and the probability of that event not happening sums up to 1.

This will be our guiding principle in answering this question.

a. Probability of snowing on a given day = 4/11

Probability of not snowing = 1 - probability of snowing = 1-4/11 = 7/11

b. The probability of raining on a particular day = 3/8

The probability of it not raining on that particular day = 1-3/8 = 5/8
