Question

The TV weather forecaster announces that one location has a 65% chance of hail tomorrow and a 10% chance of snow. What is the probability that it will hail or snow in this location?

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

Probability or Chance that it will hail = 65% = 65/100

Probability or Chance that it will snow = 10 % = 10/100

Therefore, Probability that it will hail or snow in this location = Probability or Chance that it will hail + Probability or Chance that it will snow

= 65/100 + 10/100

= 65 + 10/100

= 75/100

= 3/4

The probability that it will hail or snow in this location is 3/4
