On any day, the probability of rain is 0.3. The occurrence of rain on any day is independent of the occurrence of rain on any other day. Calculate the probability that, starting with tomorrow, the second day ofrain will occur within 5 days

0.47178 = 47.178%

Step-by-step explanation:

Put simply, this question is asking the probability of having rain atleast twice in the next 5 days. The easiest way that comes to mind is reverse count - find the probability of it not happening. There are two cases for this:

Raining only once:

This has a .7^4 * 0.3 * 5 chance

Raining no times:

This has a .7^5 chance

Adding these together you get 0.52822

This is the inverse probability, so to find the actual probability, subtract it from 1.

P = 0.47178

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.

do it yourself this is easy
