If the chance for each of the next two days that it will snow is 2/5. What is the chance that it will not snow on any of these days?
5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
the chance it will not snow on a day is 3/5, so for two days, that is
3/5 * 3/5 = 9/25
To find the probability that it will not snow on any of the next two days, we can use the concept of complementary probability. The complementary probability of an event is the probability that the event does not occur.
Given that the chance for each of the next two days that it will snow is 2/5, we can say that the probability of it not snowing on any particular day is 1 - (2/5) = 3/5.
Now, since we want to find the probability that it will not snow on both days, we can multiply the probabilities of it not snowing on each day. This can be done since these events are independent of each other.
So,
Probability of it not snowing on either day = (3/5) * (3/5) = 9/25.
Therefore, the chance that it will not snow on any of these days is 9/25.
