Expert Solution

Step 1

Let us summarize the Given information:

Let us define the following Events:

R: It will rain on 20th October.

R': It will not rain on 20th October.

C: The forecast is correct.

C': The forecast is incorrect.

It is given that:

$P (R) = 0.85 P (R') = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 P (C | R) = 0.9 P (C | R') = 0.75$
