Question 5
5.
The weatherman might state that your area has a probability of rain of 40 percent. However, this fact is conditional on many things, such as the probability of…
…a cold front coming to your area.
…rain clouds forming.
…another front pushing the rain clouds away.
We say that the conditional probability of rain occurring depends on all the above events.
