In a tropical area where there are short storms more or less uniformly distributed throughoutthe year. there is a 60% chance of rain on any one day. Determine: (i) the probability that therewill be no rain on any two successive days, (ii) the probability that it will rain on both days, and(iii) that it well rain on only one of the two days.
