Part A: To compare the probability of rain between any two days, we can simply look at the chance of rain for each day.
- Monday: 50%
- Tuesday: 30%
- Wednesday: 40%
- Thursday: 80%
- Friday: 20%
Based on these probabilities, we can say that the probability of rain is highest on Thursday (80%) and lowest on Friday (20%).
Part B: To determine the best day to host an outdoor cookout with family and friends, we want to choose a day with the lowest chance of rain. In this case, Friday would be the best day to host the event as it has the lowest chance of rain at 20%. This increases the likelihood of having good weather for the cookout and ensures that the event is not disrupted by rain.
The weather table predicts the chance of rain for five days.
Day of the Week Chance of Rain
Monday 50%
Tuesday 30%
Wednesday 40%
Thursday 80%
Friday 20%
Part A: Compare the probability of rain between any two days. (6 points)
