The probability of afternoon rain given morning cloud cover >50% is of interest to those forecasting the weather. You can calculate this probability using Bayes' Theorem (below). The probability of morning cloud cover in general is 30% in the area you are concerned with and when there's afternoon rain, morning cloud cover of the kind described above occurs 90% of the time. The probability of rain in general for the area is about 26% of days. From the above information, identify what P(BIA) would be. Express your answer as a proportion, rounded to two decimal places. P(A/B)= = P(B|A)*P(A) P(B)
