- On each of three consecutive days the National Weather Service announces that there is an equal chance of rain or no rain. Assuming that the National Weather Service is correct, answer the following questions to find the probability that it rains one of the three days. (Hint: Represent the outcome that it rains on day 1 and doesn’t rain on days 2 and 3 as RNN. A tree diagram can help you find the sample space.) How many outcomes are in the sample space? How many outcomes are in the event where it rains one of the three days? What is the probability that it rains on one of the three days?arrow_forwardA national sports equipment co-op is going to conduct a survey of its members.
