the tree diagram relates the weather forecast and school closings. find the probability that the school is closed tomorrow due to snow.

Answer 1

To find the probability that the school is closed due to snow, we need to look at the branch of the tree diagram that leads to a snow forecast.

Let's say that the weather forecast for tomorrow has a 40% chance of snow. From the tree diagram, we can see that if it snows, there is a 60% chance that the school will be closed.

So, the probability that the school is closed tomorrow due to snow is 40% (chance of snow) * 60% (chance of school closing if it snows) = 24%.

Therefore, the probability that the school is closed tomorrow due to snow is 24%.
