of a rainy day after a sunny day is 4
1 If it rained
3 .

on Wednesday, find the probability of having a rainy day on Friday.

1 Use the probability of a rainy day after a rainy day to find the probability
of a sunny day after a rainy day.

2 If a is the probability of event A and b is the probability of event B, the
