The probability of a sporting event being cancelled due to rain or lightning  is 6/25

What is Probability?

This is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected/Total

Given the following

  • Pr(rain) = 3/5
  • Pr (lightening) = 2/5

The probability of a sporting event being canceled due to rain or lightning = 3/5 * 2/5

The probability of a sporting event being canceled due to rain or lightning = 6/25

Hence the probability of a sporting event being cancelled due to rain or lightning  is 6/25
