This year June 1 is a Friday, and June has 30 days. If there will be exactly one hail storm in June, but we have no idea on which day it will happen, what is the probability it will happen on a Saturday, and ruin your day off?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Day on June 1=Friday

Saturday on June 2

Total number of days in June=30

Total Saturdays in June

2nd june ,9th June,16th June,23th June,30th June

Total Saturdays in June=5

We have to find the probability that it will happen on a Saturday and ruin your day off.

Probability:[tex]P(E)=\frac{Number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{Total\;number\;of;cases}[/tex]

Using the formula

The probability that it will happen on a Saturday and ruin your day off=[tex]\frac{5}{30}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
