Assuming that the temperature has to be below freezing in order for it to snow, if the probability of the temperature being below freezing tomorrow is 85%, and the probability of there being precipitation tomorrow is 25%, what is the probability that it will snow tomorrow?

The probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

To find the probability that it will snow tomorrow, we need to determine the intersection (common area) between the temperature being below freezing and there being precipitation.

The probability of the temperature being below freezing is 85% (0.85), and the probability of there being precipitation is 25% (0.25).

To find the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the individual probabilities:

Probability of both events = Probability of temperature below freezing * Probability of precipitation
= 0.85 * 0.25
= 0.2125

Therefore, the probability that it will snow tomorrow is 21.25% (0.2125) or approximately 21.3%.

To find the probability that it will snow tomorrow, we need to calculate the probability that both conditions are satisfied: the temperature being below freezing (Event A) and the presence of precipitation (Event B).

First, let's convert the given probabilities into decimal form:
- The probability of the temperature being below freezing tomorrow is 85% or 0.85.
- The probability of there being precipitation tomorrow is 25% or 0.25.

To find the probability of two independent events occurring, we multiply their probabilities together. Therefore, the probability that both Event A and Event B occur is:

Probability of Snow = Probability of Event A * Probability of Event B

Probability of Snow = 0.85 * 0.25

Probability of Snow = 0.2125

Thus, the probability that it will snow tomorrow is 21.25% or 0.2125.
