In a certain region, it rains on average once every 10 days during the summer. Rain is predicted on average for 85% of the days when rainfall actually occurs, while rain is predicted on average for 25% of the days when it does not rain. Assume that rain is predicted for tomorrow. What is the probability of rainfall actually occurring on that day?
