On a particular day in July, there is a 20% probability of rain in Vancouver, a 65% probability of rain in Calgary, and a 75% probability of rain in Saskatoon. What is the probability that it will rain in all 3 cities on that day?

The probability that it will  rain in all 3 cities on that day

P(V∪ C∪S) = 0.93 = 93%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'V' be the event of  rain in Vancouver

Given that the probability of rain in Vancouver

             P( V) = 20% = 0.20

             P( V⁻) = 1- P( V) = 1 - 0.20 =0.80

Let 'C' be the event of  rain in Calgary

Given that the probability of rain in Calgary

             P( C) = 65% = 0.65

            P( C⁻) = 1- P( C) = 1 - 0.65 =0.35

Let 'S' be the event of  rain in Saskatoon

Given that the probability of rain in Saskatoon

             P( S) = 75% = 0.75

             P( S⁻) = 1- P( S) = 1 - 0.75 =0.25

First we will prove that the probability that it will not rain in all 3 cities on that day

P( V⁻ ∩  C⁻ ∩  S⁻  ) =  P( V⁻) P( C⁻) P(S⁻)

                              =  0.80 × 0.35 × 0.25

                             = 0.07

The probability that it will  rain in all 3 cities on that day

P(V∪ C∪S) = 1-(P( V⁻ ∩  C⁻ ∩  S⁻  )

                   = 1 - 0.07

                  = 0.93

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
