Question

The time has a game tomorrow, and the weather forecast says there is a 30% chance of rain. What is the team's chance to win tomorrow's game

We can start by using the law of total probability to calculate the overall probability of winning:
P(win) = P(win|raining) * P(raining) + P(win|not raining) * P(not raining)
where P(win|raining) = 0.8, P(win|not raining) = 0.5, and P(raining) = 0.3 (from the weather forecast). The probability of not raining is simply 1 - P(raining) = 0.7.
Plugging in the values, we get:
P(win) = 0.8 * 0.3 + 0.5 * 0.7
= 0.24 + 0.35
= 0.59
Therefore, the team's chance to win tomorrow's game is 59%.
P(win) = P(win|raining) * P(raining) + P(win|not raining) * P(not raining)
where P(win|raining) = 0.8, P(win|not raining) = 0.5, and P(raining) = 0.3 (from the weather forecast). The probability of not raining is simply 1 - P(raining) = 0.7.
Plugging in the values, we get:
P(win) = 0.8 * 0.3 + 0.5 * 0.7
= 0.24 + 0.35
= 0.59
Therefore, the team's chance to win tomorrow's game is 59%.
