Suppose the weather forecast calls for a "60% chance of rain" each day for the next 3 days. What is the probability that it will NOT rain during the next 3 days? Assume that whether it rains each day is an independent event. Round answer to 2 places after the decimal point.
Required probability = P(it will not rain during the next 3 days)
= P(it does not rain on Day 1) x P(it does not rain on Day 2) x P(it does not rain on Day 3)
= (1-0.6)(1-0.6)(1-0.6)
= 0.064
0.06

Suppose that the chance of rain tomorrow depends on previous weather conditions only through whether or not it is raining today and not on past weather conditions. Suppose also that if it rains today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability 0.6, and if it does not rain today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability 0.3, then (a) Calculate the probability that it will rain four days from today given that it is raining today. (b) What is the...
Plz show all steps, thx!
Question 5. (Forecasting the Weather) Suppose that the chance of rain tomor- row depends on previous weather conditions only through whether or not it is raining today and not on past weather conditions. Suppose also that if it rains today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability a; and if it does not rain today then it will rain tomorrow with probability B. If a 0.7 and B 0.4, then calculate the probability that it...
Suppose I have faith in my local weather reporter who says that the chance of rain tomorrow is 80 percent. Moreover, my friend, the seasoned sailor, tells me that whenever it rains the next day, the appearance of the sky visible this evening only appears about 10 percent of the time. Whenever there is a clear day, he adds, the present appearance of the sky occurs 60 percent of the time the evening before. Assume I trust my friends judgement,...
There is a 30 percent chance of rain for tomorrow across a forecast area that includes the northern half of your state. Which of these accurately describes the weather you might expect? a. Rain will fall on 30 percent of the forecast area. b. There will be rain for 30 percent of the day. c. There is a 30 percent chance that at least one point in the forecast area will get rain. d. At any point in the forecast...
A weather forecasting website indicated that there was a 75% chance of rain in a certain region. Based on that report, which of the following is the most reasonable interpretation? (Choose the correct answer below.) A. 75% of the region will get rain today. B. In the region, it will rain for 75% of the day. C. There is a 0.75 probability that it will rain somewhere in the region at some point during the day. D. None of the...

Data available from Weather Underground indicates that in Minneapolis in 2017, if there was pre cipitation on a given day, then there was approximately a 25% chance of precipitation the next day. On the other hand, if a given day had no precipitation, then there was a 30% chance there was no precipitation the next day. We want to use this data to forecast weather for this year (a) (6 points) Set up a Markov chain model to determine the...
This week Next week Snow 0.42 Suppose a weather forecast reports that the probability of snow this week is 0.35. The forecast states that if it snows this week, the probability that it snows next week is 0.42. If it does not snow this week, the probability that it snows next week is 0.25. The tree diagram depicts the possible weather event outcomes with the associated probabilities. What is the probability that it will snow next week? Provide your answer...
Draw an appropriate tree diagram, and use the multiplication principle to calculate the probabilities of all the outcomes. HINT [See Example 3.] There is a 30% chance of rain today and a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. Assume that the event that it rains today is independent of the event that it rains tomorrow. What is the probability that it rains on exactly one of the next two days?
