Math Problem Statement

the probability that will rain tomorrow o.85. what is the probability that it will not rain tomorrow

Solution

The probability that it will not rain tomorrow is the complement of the probability that it will rain.

Given that the probability of rain is 0.85, the probability of no rain (denoted as P(no rain)P(\text{no rain})) is calculated as:

P(no rain)=1P(rain)=10.85=0.15P(\text{no rain}) = 1 - P(\text{rain}) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

So, the probability that it will not rain tomorrow is 0.15.
