the probability it will snow in the next weeks is 1/12 for this week and 1/4 for next week.what is P(snow this week,then show next week?
A)1/8
B)1/16
C)1/24
D)1/48 ***
yes
To calculate the probability of it snowing this week and then snowing next week, we multiply the probabilities of each event together.
The probability of it snowing this week is 1/12, and the probability of it snowing next week is 1/4.
So, the probability of both events occurring is (1/12) * (1/4) = 1/48.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 1/48.
To find the probability that it will snow this week and then snow next week, we need to multiply the probabilities of each event happening.
Given:
Probability of snow this week = 1/12
Probability of snow next week = 1/4
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities:
P(snow this week, then snow next week) = (1/12) * (1/4)
To simplify the calculation, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
= (1 * 1) / (12 * 4)
= 1/48
Therefore, the answer is D) 1/48.
