Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Given Probabilities
  • Probability of rain on any given day (P(Rain)) = 0.30
  • Probability of rain tomorrow if it rains today (P(Rain Tomorrow | Rain Today)) = 0.50
Step 2: Calculate Joint Probability
  • We need to find the probability that it will rain today and tomorrow.
  • This is the product of the probability of rain today and the conditional probability of rain tomorrow given that it rains today.
Step 3: Apply the Multiplication Rule
  • P(Rain Today and Rain Tomorrow) = P(Rain Today) * P(Rain Tomorrow | Rain Today)
  • P(Rain Today and Rain Tomorrow) = 0.30 * 0.50 = 0.15

Final Answer

The probability that it will rain today and tomorrow is 0.15.
